As you know, this week we’ve been celebrating Caribbean Food Week with the help of Grace Foods. We tried Jerk Chicken on Monday and then a stew alongside Jamaica’s national dish of Saltfish and Ackee yesterday!
Today though, I’m finishing Caribbean Food Week with some baking of course, assisted by Mary Berry‘s recipe for Jamaican Ginger Cake. This is of course inspired by the McVities sticky loaf cake you can buy in any supermarket. Using stem and ground ginger just makes the cake (and kitchen!) smell incredible.
Apart from my 10inch round tin leaking (I noticed just as I lifted the tin into the oven, thankfully!) and some hasty decanting into a couple of loaf tins, this was a nice straightforward bake! 
Best served warm from the oven with a dollop of custard, although it keeps really well for a few days too!
