Best Triple Ginger Skillet Cake Recipes

TRIPLE-GINGER POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Sift flour, ground ginger, baking powder and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix dry ingredients and milk alternately into batter. Fold in crystallized ginger and grated ginger. Divide batter between prepared loaf pans.
• Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cakes in pans 10 minutes. Cut around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn cakes out onto racks; cool completely. (Can be prepared up to 1 month ahead. Double-wrap cakes with plastic; freeze.)

TRIPLE GINGER & SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Butter and line a 23cm square baking tin (or use a shallow roasting tin, approx 30 x 20cm). Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Put the butter, sugar and treacle into a saucepan and heat gently for about 5 mins until the butter and sugar have melted. Stir in the milk. The mix should be just warm to the touch; if not, leave to cool a little longer, then beat in the eggs.
• Mix the chopped ginger and dry ingredients together in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour the melted mix into the well, then gradually draw the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon, until you have a thick, smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin, then bake for 1 hr until risen and firm to the touch. Resist taking a peek beforehand; the cake will sink if the oven temperature drops too quickly before it's cooked through. Poke a skewer into the centre to check that it's cooked - it should come out clean. If not, give it 10 mins more and check again. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. Once completely cool, turn out of the tin ready for icing, or wrap well in cling film and keep in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
• To make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and add the gingery syrup. Beat well until you have a smooth, runny icing. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle with icing and cut into squares. If you're planning to let the cake mature for a while, make the icing on the day you want to cut it.

CLEMENTINE POLENTA SKILLET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the topping: Grease a 9-inch ovenproof skillet (or 9-inch round cake pan) generously with the butter, being especially generous when buttering the bottom.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the clementine slices on top, packing them in tightly, to completely cover the bottom. Set aside.
• For the cake: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well to combine after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
• Add the flour, polenta, baking powder, ginger and salt and mix to combine. With the mixer running on low speed, pour the buttermilk in a slow, steady stream. Mix well to combine and scrape the bowl well.
• Pour the batter over the prepared clementine slices and gently spread into an even layer.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
