Damp Jamaican Gingerbread – English Recipe

    Have just made this for the first time, and the oven temp/baking time seem way off to me. (I've had to put it back in the oven twice -- seriously underbaked.) That said, I can tell it'll be delicious once that part is sorted out.

    Damp Jamaican Gingerbread (English Recipe),Kitchengrrl recently requested a recipe which she had eaten in London. How would you like to try a genuine British sticky gingerbread? use this recipe very often and it always pleases. It is dark and sticky and improves with keeping for up to a week — I only manage to keep it for a day before I am forced to cut it. The recipe, which comes from one of our most popular cooks, Delia Smith, uses black treacle and golden syrup. These are both produced from cane sugar. I suggest that you substitute dark molasses for the black treacle. For the golden syrup, you may be able to get hold of Tate’s golden syrup in some stores, other possibilities are Steen’s 100% Pure Cane Syrup and failing this use Light Corn Syrup. Corn Syrup is not the same as the British golden syrup and does not taste quite the same, but the consistency is similar and in any case the flavour of the spices dominates the cake. Muscovado sugar could be used in place of the dark soft brown sugar. Sorry I missed out the temperature first time round!,Have just made this for the first time, and the oven temp/baking time seem way off to me. (I’ve had to put it back in the oven twice — seriously underbaked.) That said, I can tell it’ll be delicious once that part is sorted out.,Ive got this one in the oven now as I type, I was a little concerned about the consistency as it was thinner than I would normally expect, and there did not appear to be much in the bottom of my tin when it went into the oven, I need not have worried it has risen to the top of the tin and smells amazing, Looking forward to some with custard, or just a slice spread with butter and a coffee with friends.
