"I found this recipe from Buderim Ginger which is a long-standing Australian ginger business. In my opinion they have the finest and best ginger products you will ever buy! Serve this loaf sliced on its own ~ or spread with butter and a ginger marmalade. I would say that walnuts could be used instead of pecans."
