"Old family favourite for morning/afternoon tea/snack with a smear of butter. Fills the kitchen with a beautiful aroma when cooking. Also we freeze slices in an air tight container for the DH to take to work."

Step 4
Sift flours, bicarbonate of soda, gound ginger, nutmeg, salt and mix in brown sugar well.

Step 7
Bung in the oven and cook for 45 minutes (test with skewer and if dry o'kay) if not could require up to another 15 minutes.
