Nigella gingerbread cake

I can�t disentangle the smell of gingerbread from the smell of Christmas, I can think of no better welcome as people come through the door of the kitchen than the waft of it baking

I’ve been making this gingerbread since the turn of the century — it was one of my go-to recipes for the countless bake sales at my children’s schools when they were little — and my love for it never fades. The lemon icing is hardly conventional, but its bright sourness is a wonderful foil for the deep, dark spiciness of the cake. This is the gingerbread (minus said icing) I advise you to use for the Advocaat and Ginger Cake should you not want to go the shop-bought route, and when I use it…

With the start of December, it's now officially the Christmas season...so bring on the Christmas baking! I'm so excited to have finally made this Sticky Gingerbread...I've only been waiting a year! I just couldn't resist the little deer and the spruce trees...the perfect festive touch. This is also a recipe from Nigella's Christmas book, so it's ideal to get the ball rolling for this month's Forever Nigella which I'm thrilled to be hosting. This gingerbread is full of gorgeous flavours…

Sometimes, it makes sense to use one’s obsessions to advantage. I know that most people don’t have trivial light-bulb moments when the notion pops into an already food-filled head to make a stuffing in which crumbled gingerbread cake replaces breadcrumbs, but that’s, unfathomably, how my mind works. You can use dark brown, dense gingerbread, or the lighter, sandier loaves. I buy spiced bread rather than make it and you will often find it sold, even still in loaf-shape, as ginger cake. It all…

This delicious Jamaican ginger cake is a simple, comforting treat perfect for any occasion. With a warm, spiced flavor and a moist, tender crumb, it's an easy bake you can whip up with common ingredients. Inspired by Nigella Lawson's recipe, it features both fresh and crystallized ginger for that extra zing!

This sticky gingerbread by food guru Nigella Lawson won me a 'Bake Off' competition whilst working at Livingetc. John Torode was one of the judges so to say I was chuffed is an understatement. The smells just shout Christmas to me, and this makes a great gift as it keeps for up to 2 weeks. Bailey…

This recipe is another that I have been wanting to post for a really long time. Not necessarily this recipe, but a recipe for Gingerbread Ca...

It is true that I already have a Honey Cake recipe, and one that has been dear to me for many years, but I felt it was time to branch out. I had come to terms with the fact that my earlier Honey Cake doesn’t have actually any honey in it (it requires, instead, the glory that is Golden Syrup) but I also had to conclude that perhaps having a Honey Cake — whose purpose in life is after all to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year — that can’t be eaten by those who keep Kosher, is not the…
