Roger's Rust Coloured Ginger Cake.
Here is the recipe as requested
Ginger and Honey Cake.
4 oz Caster sugar
1 oz demerara sugar
5 oz marg
2 large eggs
4 oz Honey
10oz selfraising flour
1tsb baking powder
2 heaped tsp ground ginger
2 tsb milk
Cream the sugar and fat together, add the eggs and honey and whisk.
add flour ginger and baking powder.
mix gently add enough milk to make a soft mix
Enough for two 8 inch tins. Either sandwich together or, as I did, make two cakes.
Cook at 160 C in a fan oven or a bit hotter in a ordinary oven for 20min until springy when pressed.
For a topping I mixed a dollop of glace ginger with some icing sugar and a few drops of hot water and spread the unattractive, but tasty mix on the top of the cooled sponge.
For extra piquancy cook a few brackets painted with Hamerite in the same oven.
NO that was a joke!!

Lou just give Roger a couple of quid and he will bake you one if you ask nicely, and he can add extra spices like hammerite, brake dust, rust, duckhams etc to adjust the flavour to suit you taste buds
Cheers

Here is another show stopper from Roger Rust's Kitchen.
If you like Carrot cake try this.
Beetroot cake:
An example (like carrot cake) of using sweet root vegetables in cakes. This was a popular idea in the 16th Century.
Ingredients
8 oz self-raising flour
2 large raw beetroots, grated
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
7 1/2 fluid oz sunflower oil
8 oz castor sugar
4 eggs beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Method
- Sift the flour, baking power, grated nutmeg and mixed spice into a large basin.
- Add the beetroot.
- Mix the sugar, eggs and oil together and mix this into the flour and beetroot mixture.
- Pour the mixture into to two greased 1lb loaf tins and bake at 175 degrees centigrade for 40 minutes. or 160 in a fan oven.
It comes out Golden yellow with Red flecks very festive!
