Instructions
Preheat oven to 190C convection (180C fan-forced). Grease and line an 18cm X 28cm slice tin with baking paper.
Add butter and sugar to the bowl of an electric beater. Beat for a minute until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat for another minute.
Add the flour and milk. Beat for 30 seconds until just combined.
Add almond meal, ground ginger, fresh grated ginger and crystallized ginger. Mix gently with a wooden/silicone spoon until the dry bits are completely incorporated in the batter.
Spoon into the prepared tin. Spread the batter to fill the tin and smooth the top. Scatter with flaked almonds. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes until the top is golden.
Remove and cool completely in the tin. Slice and store in an air-tight container in a cool spot of your kitchen for up to 5 days.
