McVities Jamaica Ginger Cake Reviews

This cake is gorgeous. It comes wrapped in a protective layer that helps to keep if fresh and moist until you are ready to eat it. If you open the cake and you don't want to eat all of it then I suggest wrapping it up in foil and keeping it in the fridge, otherwise the cake tends to dry out. The cake has a real ginger taste to it that ...  Read the complete review

Being of West Indian descent, Sunday desserts during my childhood usually consisted of ginger cake and custard, and our brand of choice to this day is McVities Ginger Cake. Nowadays we don't pick this product up as often as we could because it's not particularly healthy. However whenever I do a cheeky Tesco shop I see this on the shelf ...  Read the complete review

I only recently rediscovered this, but my mum used to buy these cakes quite often during my childhood. Now if you've never experienced a ginger cake before, you might turn your nose up at it and prefer the safety of the more traditional cakes such as Madeira, Victoria, Lemon Drizzle etc. However, I ask you to keep an open ...  Read the complete review

Ok it seemed a little ...  Read the complete review

Jamaica Ginger Cake has been around for years and is produced by McVities who, it has to be said... know a thing or two about cakes and biscuits.

A real plus point as far as I'm ...  Read the complete review
