McVities have always been know to produce great quality and tasty products and this Jamaica Ginger Cake is no different!
**What is it?**
It's a sweet loaf cake made with ginger. Each packet suggests that it can be cut into ten slices. With each one containing only 93 calories.
**What does it taste like?**
It is lovely and sweet but the kick of ginger is still there. Also it is possibly the most moist cake I have ever had. A friend of mine likes to put a think slither of butter on it, however I prefer it without but of course the option is there for you. I wouldn't be scared off this cake if you find the taste of ginger a bit overwhelming. It is a taste that I think would be enjoyed by ginger fanatics (like myself) but also by people who prefer only a slight hint.
**What else is good?**
The packaging is easily opened and the end can be rolled up easily to keep the air out to allow the rest of the cake to remain fresh. I absolutely adore the smell, lovely and gingery...just mouth wateringly good!
**Any bad things?**
Well of course it is a cake, so naturally it's to be eaten in moderation. I sometimes find it hard to divide it up and so end up with less than ten slices obviously with each of them weighing slightly more on the calorie scale. I would prefer it if it came pre-sliced but then it may not retain it's freshness. Also when slicing the loaf seems to squash down a bit leaving you ith slightly deformed looking slices.
**Would you recommend it?**
Yes, this cake is lovely. Perfect with a cup of tea. It's a little sticky but that just adds to the fun cake eating experience. It's widely available in supermarkets and at beteen 75p-£1.00 it's also very good value for money.
Summary: Lovely with tea
