Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment. Place the butter, sugar syrup, molasses syrup, brown sugar, stem ginger, ground ginger and cinnamon into a pan. Gently heat until the sugar has dissolved. Beat the eggs and milk into the mixture then fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the ginger syrup with the icing sugar. Once the cake comes out of the oven, pierce all over with a skewer and pour over the ginger icing. Leave the cake to cool completely before serving.
