Nigel Slater's double ginger cake from Kitchen Diaries 2005 was a great discovery since it replicated one my grandmother made. Not an airy cake at all, solid and treacly, and all the more decadent because of the stemmed ginger. It's a winter cake though, but strangely I was thinking how good it would have been today with a bit of butter!

Thanks Fiona - this is very timely. I love cooking but I'm not a confident baker. I would like to bake a cake to support my parents in a fundraiser and I think the Mary Berry lemon drizzle traybake could be just the thing! Surely even a novice can't mess that up (famous last words) and doesn't everyone like a lemon drizzle with a cup of tea?!
