We have just returned from a week at the Sunshine Coast in Australia and we visited the Ginger Factory again. The smells as you walk in the doors are just divine. The ginger and honey ice cream was so delicious. They also stock a big range of kitchen equipment/gadgets. Add the Ginger Factory to your must-see list if you are up that way.

We always enjoy the Buderim Ginger factory, their ginger is lovely and soft with a good ginger kick.

Hi Marilyn.. an easy way to measure the golden syrup - put the bowl/jug (you'll melt it and the butter in your microwave), on your scales.. bring the pointer back to zero, and add g/s till you reach the 160gms.. add the butter and melt and continue with the recipe..

Thank goodness this has been bumped.I can't believe I forgot about a thread of recipes using ginger. This cake recipe is from Annabelle White and Kathy Paterson's Simply the Best :
Ginger Pear Streusel Cake
Cake
3 1/4 c flour 1 c sugar 2 heaped t baking powder 1/4 t salt 250 g butter melted and cooled slightly 1 1/2 t vanilla 4 eggs 1/4 c milk 170g crystallised ginger finely chopped 5 pears peeled quartered and thinly sliced
Streusel
3/4 c flour 1/2 c brown sugar 5 t ground ginger 100g softened butter
Combine streusel ingredients until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Grease and lightly flour a 28 cm loose-bottomed cake tin. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix melted butter, vanilla, eggs and milk well together in another bowl. Add ginger and 3 pears to the dry mix, coating well. Don't worry if the pears slicesbreak up. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix gently just long enough to combine.
Pour cake mixture into the tin and sprinkle half the streusel over. Cover with the remaining pear slices and scatter with rest of streusel.
Bake at 180C for about 1 hour.
