Oh, I do love a good recipe recommendation. So, when Brenda, my dad’s lovely neighbour, told me that her grandson had requested her sticky gingerbread cake when he next came to stay, my ears pricked up and I wanted to hear more about this recipe that had been so eagerly requested. 

After getting all the gingerbread recipe info from Brenda, I tested out a gluten free version for myself and was delighted with the result. This delicious soft gingerbread, with its shiny sticky top, is filled with all the fragrant warming ginger spice you’d typically expect from such a cake. But with the addition of dark muscovado sugar (my little twist on the original recipe), the treacle flavour seems to intensify, making it a perfect bake for a bonfire night gathering!
