Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Ginger2-inch piece
Eggs3
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
Green Cardamom2 cups, chopped

Instructions

1
Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the base of your tin with parchment.
2
Whisk the ginger, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and ground cinnamon through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.
5
Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
