Ginger lime loaf

Gran has continued to update her baking and this is a favourite she has discovered in recent years.

LOAF

INGREDIENTS

250g butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup golden syrup

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated

1 tablespoon lime rind

1 cup flour

1 cup self-raising flour

2 eggs, lightly beaten

3/4 cup plain yoghurt

LIME ICING

2 cups icing sugar

1/4 teaspoon butter, melted

2 tablespoons lime juice

1/4 teaspoon lime rind

METHOD

To make the loaf, melt butter and golden syrup, add sugar, ginger, and lime. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Sift flours together.

In a separate bowl, mix eggs, butter and yoghurt.

Add both liquid mixtures to the flour alternately; be careful not to over-beat the mixture.

Pour into tin and bake for 50 minutes at 180°C.

To make the icing, mix together sifted icing sugar and butter, lime juice and rind and spread over cool loaf.
