Pour the golden syrup into the crumbly ginger cake mixture, stir well until you get a very thick cake batter.
You should be able to make small balls out of your ginger cake mixture, it will feel a little sticky, the balls don't have to be a perfect shape.
Spread out the balls onto a greased and floured baking tray, the ginger cake balls should be approx 2 inches in size.

When the ginger cookies have cooled down mix some powdered sugar with a few drops of vanilla essence and a little cold water.
You want a drizzling consistancy but not too thin.
Take a blunt knife and drizzle the icing from side to side of your plate of ginger cakes.
For best results eat when cooled and icing has dried a little.

I love ginger and these little cake bites look fabulous! I also hope to have a much luck as you had with the apricot honey cookies. Thanks for the tips!
Cute they are Jeena. A neat recipe to follow. Viji
Jeena,
I am planning on making this recipe for a friend's 30th birthday. He and I are both crazy for the Ginger Cakes we have eaten at Colonial Williamsburg in Virgina, USA, so when I saw your recipe, I was very excited to try it. There is one question I have, and that is "What is golden syrup?" The closest thing I can think of that I can get here in the states is Karo Syrup, which is corn syrup and is available in dark and light varieties. Would that work?
Thanks!
Hi there, I think corn syrup would be fine in this recipe. Just make sure it is the golden coloured one which I guess might be the light corn syrup.
I hope you have a great birthday and you both enjoy the ginger cakes.

I found this recipe after trying Ginger Cakes in Colonial Williamsburg too! I had one and now I want to eat them again.
Is it possible to substitute Maple Syrup for Golden Syrup? Or would it cook differently that way?
Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Lovely recipie, such a short time in oven leaves them extreemly moist and soft. Perfect.
