Sticky Stem Ginger Cake with Lemon Drizzle

The bbc good food website never seems to let me down. After a long hunt for stem ginger which I ended up getting in Fallon and Byrne the making of this cake was easy and well well worth it. It will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container and gets better with age. Who doesnt love ginger cake and the tangy lemon drizzle and kick from the stem ginger really works.

Cherry, Almond and Chocolate Chip Oaties

I looked everywhere for sour dried cherries but no luck. I settled with standard dried cherries and everyone seemed to like them. The recipe is from the Leon baking book and they went down a storm with my hubby and parents....but I think I can do better. Will add dark chocolate instead of milk next time as that will go really well with the cherries.............and I'm still going to hunt for sour dried cherries!
