Damp gingerbread
from Delia Smith’s Book of Cakes
Two very simple words which, when put together, rarely fail to set mouths a-watering. This cake is so unbelievably moist you can keep it in the cupboard for days.

125g (4.5oz) margarine = 48p
250g (9oz) plain flour = 13p

2 level teaspoons of ground ginger = 21p
