- Lemon zest
- 175 g of flour
- 3.75 ml ginger
- 2 eggs
For coverage:
- A tablespoon of honey
- Juice of one lemon
Preparation
- First, we preheat the oven to 180 ºC. Meanwhile, we can prepare our cake.
- To do this, we must first melt the butter in a bain-marie.
- When it is almost melted, add the honey and the lemon zest and mix everything very well.
- Afterwards, we let it cool down and then we add the rest of the ingredients (the flour, the ginger and the eggs).
- Now we can butter a mold suitable for the oven and then pour the mixture inside.
- Later, we put in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, we can prepare the topping. To do this, first we place the honey and lemon juice in a pot over medium heat.
- When both ingredients have warmed up a bit and melted into each other, our topping is ready.
- When we take the cake out of the oven, we only have to prick with a fork so that small holes are created and pour the coating so that it soaks the entire cake, including the cake inside through the holes.
- The cake should absorb all the liquid from the topping.
- Let cool and enjoy!

Ginger Cheesecake
If you fancy something different and you are a fan of cheesecake or cheesecake , this is your recipe: a ginger cheesecake that will delight the whole family. In addition, it is very easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- gingerbread cookies (about twenty)
- 75g butter
- 200 g of creamy Philadelphia cheese
- 3 tablespoons of liquid cream
- 2 eggs
- 50g sugar
- 1 piece of fresh ginger
- Strawberry jam
Preparation
- First, we will make the base of the cake with the gingerbread cookies. To do this, we must grind the cookies until they are well crushed, made into powder.
- On the other hand, we melt the butter. Then we add the butter to the ground cookies and mix very well.
- Later, in an oven-safe container, we create a base with this mixture that we have made. The base must be very compact, so we must press so that it is uniform and flat.
- Then, in a bowl, add the eggs, sugar, cream and cream cheese, and mix them very well.
- When the mixture is homogeneous, we can grate and add the small piece of ginger, and stir so that it is well incorporated.
- Now, we can pour this last mixture on the base of cookies and butter. We put everything in a preheated oven at 160 ºC for about 30 minutes.
- We must be careful and not over time, as the cake could lose all its liquids and not be juicy. For this, it is better that you go checking your baking.
- Finally, we take it out of the oven and wait for it to cool down. Then we unmold it and apply a layer of strawberry jam on top.
Now, imagine that you have guests at home for a snack and that you surprise them with an original, tasty and aromatic recipe like this one.
