If this is the women’s weekly one, I made this cake in a lamington tin in grade 6 for a charity day and Sr Brendon bought all my squares for the staff before I’d even got in the door. So I think of it as Janet’s ginger cake although I havent made it in years.
Btw lovely with sliced pears on the base.
