Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp brown sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp light corn syrup
3/4 cup plus 1 tbsp molasses
2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup plus 2 tbsp milk
2 large eggs, beaten to mix
1 tsp baking soda , dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar , sifted
1 tbsp warm water

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in its water.
Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it into the pan and bake for 3/4 - 1 hour until risen and firm. Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry on cooking as it cools.
And when it is cool, get on with the icing. Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good, thick icing, so go cautiously and be prepared not to add all the water. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.
