McVities Mini Gingerbread Men Biscuits - 100x19g

Product Information

This Jamaican ginger cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with some other treats to make it even more special: Key tips: Don't open the oven until 50 minutes is up and don't attempt to skewer test a wobbly top cake as it may sink.

Festive - try poking holes in the cake while cooling, then feed it with a few teaspoons of ginger wine, rum, brandy, etc Custard - warm up in the microwave and served with hot or custard, which is perfect in the colder months. Custard is particularly great if your cake is a little on the dry sideBut is gingerbread suitable for vegans? Or do we need to give up eating this tasty sweet treat once we go vegan? Read on to find out everything you need to know about when gingerbread is vegan and when it isn’t… What is gingerbread made of? I love the flavours of autumn; all the spices come out to play. McVities has brought out these Mini Gingerbread Men in portion-controlled bags. The design of the bag is rather cute, with gingerbread men with sunglasses, walking their dogs, and... what is the gingerbread man bottom right doing? Is that a lamp chop or a bag of swag? Oh well, perhaps it is best to focus on the contents.

Storing - we prefer eating homemade ginger cake after storing it for a couple of days in a cake tin at room temperature. But it can last up to 7 days in an airtight container. Milk - swap for any plant based milk of your choice, or a mix of milk and soured cream for a tangy flavour. Alternatively, you can swap 30 ml milk for 2 tbsps of ginger wine Also, for best results, if your cake looks perfect on top, but the skewer has a smear of batter on it, cover it with tin foil and bake for longer to prevent it from burning and drying out. 👩‍🍳 SubstitutionsPlain flour - for a gluten free Jamaican ginger stem cake, use GF plain or all-purpose flour with ⅓ teaspoon xanthan gum for a less crumbly cake
