This sticky ginger cake is the traditional northern English accompaniment to fireworks – but it’s not just for Bonfire Night
This deliciously sticky ginger cake from the north of England is traditionally eaten around Bonfire Night, when its dense oatiness makes it the perfect thing to pass round from a tin as you watch the fireworks. Robust enough to travel well, and moist enough to keep for weeks, it’s also a sound choice for camping, hiking and packed lunches at any time of the year.
