Moist Ginger Cake

"A soft, moist and springy ginger cake perfect as a pudding with cream or custard, or something to eat with a cup of tea/coffee as a day time treat. it is a recipe that I made up on the spot fancying a ginger tasting cake using what I had handy at the time. It is quick and easy to make and is quite tasty too. feel free to change it how you would like to suit your tastes. after all what fun is cooking/baking if you don't experiment with something."
