Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base
  • 150 g butter melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Icing
  • 150 g butter
  • 1/4 cup golden syrup
  • 1 3/4 cup icing sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees (fan bake) and line a square cake tin with baking paper
  2. Place the sugar, flour and 1 teaspoon of ginger into a mixing bowl. Mix to combine.
  3. Pour in the melted butter and stir quick to form a crumbly dough.
  4. Press the base dough into your prepared tin and place into your preheated oven.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and cooked through.
  6. Cool your base slightly while you prepare the topping.
  7. In a medium sized saucepan heat the butter and golden syrup on a medium-low heat until melted.
  8. Add in the remaining icing ingredients and simmer for around 2 minutes, stirring constantly. When it is ready the mixture will be thick, smooth and bubbling.
  9. Pour your topping on top of your cooked base immediately and spread out gently to evenly cover the surface.
  10. Allow the slice to cool and set fully before slicing and serving.
