Drenched Lemon and Ginger Cake

I have a small repertoire of great lemon cakes: the lemon curd cake I've written about before, Nigella's lemon and almond cake, Baker & Spice's lemon sponge with lemon icing. All nice, all different. Then there's this lemon and ginger cake which is a lovely twist on a lemon drizzle cake.

It is a recipe by Tamasin Day Lewis. There's a cake with light muscavado sugar, lemon zest and chopped stem ginger. Then you make a syrup from ginger syrup, Demerara sugar and lemon juice. You put holes over the cake and slowly pour over the syrup and let it soak in. This particular cake is lovely, but sensational warm - do try it. I like it with Creme
Fraiche.  Admittedly it isn't a good looking cake, but it tastes amazing.
