  • 225g (8oz) self raising flour

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4.
  2. Place all the sponge ingredients, except for the stem ginger, in a large bowl, and whisk until smooth and pale. Fold in the ginger and spoon into a greased 1.4 litre (2½ pt) ovenproof dish. Place the dish in a large roasting tin and fill the tin with enough boiling water to come two-thirds up the sides of the dish. Bake for about 45 minutes until risen and golden brown.
  3. Meanwhile, make the syrup. In a small saucepan, bring all the ingredients, except the orange zest, to the boil, and continue to boil for 5–10 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the orange zest. Pour the syrup over the warm sponge. Serve with crème fraîche or custard.
