Method
Pineapple and ginger syrup cake
- 1Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease and line a 18 cm round cake pan.

- 3Fold in flour alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Pour mixture into pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until cooked when tested.
- 4Meanwhile to make syrup; place pineapple in a medium saucepan with water, ginger marmalade and caster sugar. Stir on medium until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Boil for 15 minutes until reduced and syrupy.
