Ginger cake and Bonfires

This weekend we said goodbye to Halloween, the decorations put away, the pumpkin into the compost bin and say hello to very chilly days, warming food and bonfires. We had a fire in our garden while eating sausages in bread rolls, followed by a few fireworks and Ginger cake. I always like to bake a parkin or ginger cake for November the 5th, we bake it a few days before so it has time to get nice and sticky! I tried a different recipe this year and its one Im likely to use again, it turned out delicious and the addition of stem ginger mixed into the cake batter was really nice





You can find the recipe here here

I thought Id enter my cake into the teatime treats blogging and baking event that Kate is hosting over on her blog Lavender and Lovage and Kate from What Kate baked




Check out their lovely blogs, Im looking forward to seeing the other entries

Hope you all had a lovely weekend
