Oaty ginger cake
Background
This oaty ginger cake is more healthy version of the traditional English Parkin - but it's still absolutely yummy, dense and sticky. Perfect for winter festivities - particularly at Halloween and bonfire night! It's easy to make - although it takes an hour to bake. It's really sweet so you can reduce the sugar down to 100g or even 50g if you wish and it's still delicious. You can make it dairy-free as shown in the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 150g butter or dairy-free spread

- 3 pieces of stem ginger in syrup

- 300 ml milk or oaty milk
