Today we're in for a real treat. Mrs Crocombe is making one of her favourite recipes - a cheap and delicious Gingerbread Cake.
Visit Mrs Crocombe's kitchen: bit.ly/2IsfScC
INGREDIENTS
500g flour
200g butter (salted, or add a generous pinch of salt to compensate if unsalted)
200g brown sugar
500g black treacle
10-15g ginger
3 small eggs (or two large)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
A little warm milk
METHOD
Start by creaming the butter (stirring or beating the butter until it is a smooth, creamy and a uniform texture). Then, add the sugar and spice, ensuring that you mix them in well. Beat the eggs briefly before also adding to them to the mix.
Add flour a little at a time, mixing well between each handful. Pour in the black treacle as you go. A little warm water can be used to get the last of the black treacle out of the bowl. Then, add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda to the warm milk before pouring it into the middle of the bowl and mixing everything together.
Once the mixture is smooth, line a tin with butter and brown paper before pouring the mixture in. Place in the oven for about an hour at 180 degrees Celsius (an inserted knife or skewer should come out clean once the cake is cooked). Once ready, turn out the cake and leave it to cool, then cut into small pieces to serve. For decoration, try dusting with a little plain icing sugar or dipping the cake pieces in some fondant icing.

As always, thank you for watching! We’ve answered some of your FAQs below:
WHY IS MRS CROCOMBE USING HER HANDS TO COMBINE THE MIXTURE INSTEAD OF A SPOON? ISN’T THAT UNHYGIENIC?
Assuming they have been thoroughly washed first, mixing by hand is perfectly fine. The Victorians were well aware of food hygiene, even if they hadn't entirely realised what germs were. In fact, many books of the time recommend mixing with your hand as it's easier and quicker than mixing with a spoon.
IS MRS CROCOMBE WEARING A NEW DRESS?
Yes, well spotted! Servants were often given bolts of cloth as presents from their employers on Boxing Day, and then made their own dresses (full disclosure: Kathy did not make hers - we use a specialist costumier!). Sometimes each department (kitchen, laundry, dairy, etc) had specifically coloured gowns so that the housekeeper could tell at a glance if someone was where they should not be. By the 1880s, the housemaids who had regular contact with the family and their visitors usually wore uniforms, but often the back of house staff did not. (Find out more about what the real Mrs Crocombe wore in our behind-the-scenes video: th-cam.com/video/Ys7W3fTL8kk/w-d-xo.html)
CAN I USE MOLASSES INSTEAD OF TREACLE? DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?
In the UK you can buy dark treacle. Elsewhere, liquid molasses works, though blackstrap is the closest substitute. You can also use a lighter treacle or syrup but the result won’t be as delicious.
WHY DID MRS CROCOMBE TASTE THE GINGERBREAD BUT NOT THE OTHER RECIPES?
Most of the recipes Mrs Crocombe cooks in these videos are for the family, and as a general rule small missing chunks would not exactly further her employment prospects. She generally knows what her recipes taste like (and, in 2019, we cook them regularly as part of the live interpretation in the kitchens) meaning tasting isn’t usually required. However, dishes also needed to be presentable, occasionally leaving small off-cuts that wouldn’t just be left to go to waste.
I will defend Mrs Crocombe's honor and cookmanship! Many contemporary cookbooks had the cook use the hands when creaming butter and sugar -- the warmth of the cook's hands would help soften the butter, ensuring the maximum amount of air could be beaten into it, making the cake light. Also the fingers serve a similar function to the loops on a whisk: each one drags a separate trail of air though the batter, while a spoon carves only one path through it. So the fingers more thoroughly aerate the butter, and faster, plus if it's warm it's less likely the batter will 'split' when the dry ingredients and liquids are added. Before reliable chemical leaveners became widely available (baking soda was first sold in 1846), thorough incorporation of air into butter or eggs was the only way to leaven non-yeasted goods, and even if you're using a leavener, the butter must be thoroughly aerated for a light cake. Eggs are runny enough to be beaten easily with a whisk, but whisking a big chunk of butter is difficult, and whisking a heavy cake batter like this would be impossible without a very large whisk.
Mixing by hand hung on for a long time. My grandmother grew up and the Depression and always mixed things by hand, and taught me to as well -- but not until I'd just about scrubbed my hands raw, including under my fingernails. I wonder, given how busy servants were, when did they have time to make their own dresses? Mrs. Crocombe's is simple, but everything was made by hand back then.
If you britishers use your hands it's hygienic, but if we Indians do it's unhygienic, lol! No matter every cook washes their hands before they cook
@@1234567rek There might be cultural custom around clean hands in India. As an American, I've always been taught to cream my butter and sugar with a spoon. Unless, you're talking about racist people criticizing Indians for mixing with hands, then I'm sorry.

I love how this character became so iconic. They probably thought they were just going to educate people about how servants lived during the 1800s. They never expected to create the shadiest queen on TH-cam
Wilson Sc.Jordan well the main chef for this rich family she was probably doing Ok. I believe the real mrs crocombe was paid as well.
Servants and slaves aren't the same thing...
@@foreverinbloom14 pretty much everyone was paid i believe. But she definitely was paid better and it’s a respected position she held.
Totally! I love her! She's got just enough attitude to throw around.
Makes me wonder if the real Mrs C was so sassy 😂
5:37 “Im going to serve this to the top servants table, the one that myself and Mrs.Warwick sit on.”
DANG Ms.Crocombe just flexed hard on all those lower servants.
@TheSapphireDragon1 Dang, lower servants be eating better than all of us.
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices yeah
She should have said “sit AT, not ON” I can almost picture her and Mrs Warwick sitting there swinging their legs back and forth enjoying the cake while the lower servants sit at their lower tables watching
@@angelgirl7473
"This cake is well loved by all the servants, too bad they're not having any" (eats cake whole)
@@joshualau4070 *s* lol true
So nobody’s gonna talk about how Mrs. Crocombe is rocking that new dress?! 👀🥰
Ch. she looks faaaabbuuulous
Was just going to say the same.
Somebody got lovely new fabric from this past Christmas!
Ch. Omg I didn't even notice until I saw your comment, she's rocking it. The real queen of England✊🏻
i didn't notice! lemme replay the vid!!!
I just realized that not only is Ms. C cooking for the lord and lady and their guests, but behind the scenes, she also has a whole kitchen she needs to manage to feed the staff of the estate and I think I get why she is so stern and snarky at times haha
Thus the pounds of butter a day 🤪
Well I'll hire her to provide services, cooking and baking, at my Italian or British estate, should I ever win a large lottery jackpot. I will leave the US, never to return, with the exception of visits.
And this cake isn't going to the Lord and Lady Bradenbrook, either. While it apparently isn't good enough for them, I want to make this recipe anyway.
Dang! Only the Top Servants get Ginger Cake?!? The shade continues . .. Lol!
hahaha I thought this too!!
So cruel
Her face when she says "delicious" is straight savage
Notorious Mrs. C! Throwing shade like an oak tree!
@@josephwood1532 i imagine she said it right in the face of a lower servant she doesn't like very much
I always start these videos off like "oh yah, butter, I have that. Milk? No problem!" And then she's like the crushed horn of a unicorn on a full moon and the goddam eyelashes of Quetzalcoatl and I'm like " I- "
i thought molasses (the american equivalent of treacle) was one of those things everyone bought and the jar lasted you ten years because you use it so rarely
same 🤣
I don't know anyone who has molasses on hand. Closest I got is maple syrup. lol
@@Meep55412 could also use golden syrup
😁😁😁😁😁. You are forgetting the venom of Besilisk, milk of three leged toad, tears of a mermaid
I love love love the small comments inbetween on the society. West/East Indies, the reduxed taxes thing. It adds so much to the immersion and zeitgeist 😍
It really sucks actually because she mentioned the sugar trade but not the violent history of it
Zenymn a servant wouldn’t mention that. She’s playing a character of the time
@@Hanklerfishies The main part of the video is the recipe and the making of the Ginger Cake, not a massive history lesson, she only has so many minutes to make a video. If you know the history of the sugar trade then don't worry about it. Don't be a Debbie Downer.
she tip toed around slavery nicely
@@SpiritBear12 "she" doesn't exist. It's not like she makes the videos. I just wish there had been some text at the end that explained sugar's violent history.
"After it's been in the oven for a few hours-" *takes it out with her hands.*
Never mess with a baker. She's horrifying and so comforting at the same time.
🤣🤣
Her hands just be that way
To be completely honest, my grandma used to get cakes out of the oven with her bare hands. She obviously didn't carry them around for long, just the quick 1~2 seconds from the oven to the table, but to this day I'm still amazed.
That's how Mrs Crocombe do.
When I hear her say those glorious words “for this recipe, you will need...” I get excited to be transported back to Victorian England
Klaus O'Shaunacey Me too!!
I just love this accent♥️♥️♥️♥️
Please put out a box set of DVDs of Mrs Crocombs!!!@!
THE WORD WILL CAN BE EXCLUDED
I know and then she gives that little look and poise with her head. 🙂
Well I get my eggs from aldi.... spices from aldi.... and. .... My ginger from aldi.... What an international cake I made too😂
ALDI is a typical German supermarket
🤣
lmao
Aldi is life 😛 I’m out of ginger and thinking of running there just to get it bc it’s soo much cheaper.
my mind says ginger cake mix but my heart says mud cakes I made outside when I was 7
ur funny cherrybonbon
As I was watching I was thinking the exact same thing lmao I had a "bakery", my cakes were "baked" on my dad's barbecue grill, and I always topped them with fine sugar (sand). Miss those days xD
Haha mine thought 'bowl of poo' .. spent to many years in health care lol
I just have to say, you're really pretty 💕
Same
I happened to have all the ingredients in my cupboard for this and so I made it today. Mrs. Crocombe is right; it's a truly delightful cake. Wonderfully rich in flavor yet surprisingly light in texture. My family loved it, too. Thank you so much. For my fellow Americans who want to try the recipe, here are the measurements I used:
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 to 2 t. ginger, to taste (I used 2)
2-3 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
2 cups molasses (or treacle)
1 t. baking soda
1/4 cup warm milk
Prepare the batter as Mrs. Crocombe instructs and bake at 350 degrees F. I baked mine in an 8X8 square pan and it took an hour and ten minutes, but your time may vary of course.
Thank you. I am going to try this.
I was going to comment, that if anyone has never tried this type of gingerbread recipe, they really need to, as it is delicious!
Thanks for the baking temperature and pan size - most useful ❤
I see Mrs.CROCOMBE in the thumbnail I click it asap😍!!!
have to go to bed...see the lady on the tumb...me: i dont give a fuck my bed can wait this 5 minutes 😝 😝 😝
Sherley stansford me too! I was in the middle of another video, saw this, and clicked out of the other one immediately! 😂
Sherley stansford me too!
@@Wrenchcool 🤣🤣
Ditto!!!
"Eggs from home, sugar from the West Indies, and spice from the East Indies." Meanwhile my eggs came from Dollar Tree, sugar from Walmart, and spice from Save-A-Lot...
*sigh* I'm just a peasant...
Your spice is still probably from India or the Arabics, since those are the big spice producers of the world. Talking ginger, or even cinnamon, they would be very hard to produce in the US and impossible in the UK due to climate! So yeah, international all the same!
InTheMixx866 ? But where did they get it from? Maybe you’re less of a peasant than you think :)
(btw what kind of maniac buys eggs from dollar tree?)
@@invisiblelocket4994 I've bought eggs from Dollar Tree before and actually they aren't bad. They are close to the expiration date and medium sized, but perfectly acceptable eggs. :)
These words show the imperialism of the British empire..they get the best from the world specially from the colonies...
Dollar tree does seem a bit expensive for eggs. Aldi has had them much cheaper than that.
2:12 no one talking about that “oop”
that's what i'm about to say😂
She probably messed something up and had to cut the scene lol

Ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm blessed
@@dalemcilwain ahhahhaha I can't with you alll
I love the little details about the house, the tax reduction etc, makes it feel so much more real!
dang youre cute
I found this channel maybe 45 minutes ago (How To Make Butter the Victorian Way was the first one I found) and holy shit, all of these videos make me indescribably happy. The professional way they're presented, the personalization of every video, the way the person interacts with the audience - it's all so perfect and heartwarming. This is the kind of thing that I would come to watch if I were feeling horribly lonely and I wanted a nice, patient, very well dressed motherly figure to speak softly to me while making delicious and simple food in a descriptive fashion that makes me feel included and wanted even though I'm not even there

Hi Carolina 😂😂😂
Hello Carolina.
These videos are so wonderfully relaxing. Thank you for these little nuggets of happiness, English Heritage!
Yes!!

Omg yes i literally fall asleep to her 😍😍😍😊
Yes and I dont even know why??? Is it because she looks so relax and enjoying it?
Every time Mrs. Crocombe has something to say about “poor people”, “not very good”, she looks right into your eyes.
No one:
Mrs. Crocombe: this is quite a 👀 cheap 👀 ginger cake
It's almost exactly my grandmoms soft gingerbread cake ! Called "mjuk pepparkaka" in Swedish, where we are from. It's also my favorite cake ever 😁
Jag tycker den liknar på nått jag kallar marknadspepparkaka. Sååå gott!
Except that would have less ginger, but an addition of cinnamon and cloves, right? I much prefer the Swedish gingerbread to the English - ginger bread in England is a lot spicier, but doesn't have as much flavour.
@@viewhue Yes exactly! It's equal amounts of ginger, cinnamon and cloves in her recipe! :)
i always liked the ginger cake, but being half indian thought more of those spices could add an extra dimension, like the lebukshken-i think thats how its spelt...i love those little soft cakey biscuits, with apricot jam in the middle they are in my opinion sooo much nicer than dry gingerbread men.
We have something similar here called "cuca". It has a lot of ginger, cloves, cinnamon, lemon peels and molasses. The spices are boiled then the liquid that is left over is mixed with flour. The butter and eggs are mixed in at the end, then it's baked and cut into squares. It goes amazing with coffee.
They better be paying this actress well cause she’s the reason this channel is still up lmao😭😭
The poor lower servants, seeing that plate on the high table and not getting even a crumb.
That is just painful to hear. Poor dears!
Why I laugh so hard more than I should? 😂😂😂
Oh I think they got crumbs. Literally
Veloci Fero Or the leftovers. Mrs. Crocombe did say they got the leftovers from dinner.
Veloci Fero 😂😂
"What are you doing Saturday night?"
Me: "Sitting in the dark with a gin and tonic binge-watching Mrs. Crocombe in HD."
Soooooo…..are you single?
Sounds like a good idea
Lol 6:00 to 6:16 is so DANG fuuunnnny
"Mmmmm, delicious " * gives me the side eyes*
Shes like, " Yeah, you wish you can have some of this gingerbread cake. You lowly servent."😂
She makes me feel like such a peasant
Tbh idk if when she said "mmmmmmm, delicious" was being all shady that we can't taste her delicious cakes beacuse we're peasants or that she was being forced to say that and shereally DOES NOT like the cakes and honestly i like both options😂
Yayyy! Thank you English Heritage!
Please, please don't make us wait long for the next one, I still want to know what happened to the second gardener you know.
Agreed! Such a pleasant young gentleman,- isn't he?
@@user-oj5bw7sl8p An exceedingly pleasant young man indeed!
He was killed for being lazy and Mrs. Crocombe made his body into stew.
I still find it really cool that this was an actual house and Mrs. Crocombe was a real person and these are real recipes from her!
I swear, the other day I was reading a recipe, it started by "for this recipe, you will need", I heard Mrs Crocombe in my head, and I felt like the whole thing was victorian way, when it was actually cinnamon rolls...
I absolutely need to try this gingerbread recipe ! The one I have doesn't have any treacle in it !
At 6:05, when she pauses with that last piece in her hand, the look on her face let's you know THAT piece will not make it to the "head servants table;" and then , when she does indulge, I mean taste test for quality, the look n her face is priceless! Viva la Crocombe, Viva la Hipperson!
Oh yeah! Add a dollop of clotted cream Mrs. C and I'll see you at the table! Thankyou and everyone have a lovely Easter!🇬🇧🐇🐥😘💐🇺🇸
It is Easter, isn't it? Where's the Simnel Cake, Mrs. Crocombe?
@@fabrisseterbrugghe8567 what is a simnel cake? We don't have that in France.
@@isabellelaval7294 It's a British cake traditional for Mothering Sunday and/or Easter. It has marzipan ovoids on top. I know it's traditional. I've seen a couple of recipes, but I still don't know how to actually make it.
wait! There's no liquor in the recipe, something's wrong LOL
rgbsax the point she added warm water I was like “r u sure u don’t mean brandy” xD
She was making this for the servants. no liquor for them
hahaahahaah I swear she put brandy into all her bakings
Brandy would be a delicious addition. Also, top it with whipped cream. I love gingerbread cake.
😂😂
3-4 lbs of butter *a day*? Wow. And I need to know what the lower servants eat. :-D
Remember, they didn't have olive oil or canola oil or anything of the sort. The only options for fat were butter, suet, and lard. So butter was used very frequently for everything--baking, sauteeing, frying, serving. And with that many people in the house (about 30 or more, I'd say) I'm not at all surprised.
@Fat Earther 😂😂
@grace law I wonder how healthy they were? Really curious. Everyone is obsessed with olive oil, but they didn’t have it, and people vilify butter and lard.
@@ThePotato131 Quite healthy, actually, due to the amount of manual labor they had to do. Surviving for yourself, much less a house full of other people, took a LOT of calories, and servants were supplied with decent amounts of protein and veg as well, unless their employers were horrible. People like the Braybrookes who took little exercise would start to have troubles at some point, but they also ate far less processed sugar and sodium than we do now, and had more control over their diets as almost everything was produced locally.
@@ThePotato131 The problems for servants would be things like backaches, spinal degeneration in the neck, bursitis (housemaid's knee), arthritis, and chemical burns on the skin from lye soap. The only issue I can think of that would be dietary-related is Vit D deficiency, especially in the country (in the city it's another story, what with the smog and less access to fresh food)
The OCD side of my brain is always yelling “SCRAPE EVERYTHING OFF!” when I watch her transfer ingredients
and thats why i hate molasses or treacle lol WONT GET OFF THE BOWL OR UTENSIL IM USING }:(
IKR? Big pet peeve of mine on cooking shows.
Pastiche she hasn’t got a spatular
OCD is a mental illness.
@@ludwigvanbeethoven5176 Use your fingers :D
Poor Edgar will never get anywhere near Mrs. Crocombe's gingerbread cake
Ok, Americans, I put the ingredients in a recipe converter:
3.9 cups unsifted all purpose flour
1.75 sticks salted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1.4 cups molasses
4-6 teaspoons ground ginger
3 small eggs or 2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
a little warm milk
I can't attest to its accuracy, but I'm going to try it anyway.
www.convert-me.com/en/convert/cooking/
EDIT: The converted recipe worked! I halved it and baked it in an 8x8 pan for ~30 min. I used about 1/4 cup milk.
WOW!! This is a priceless link!! Thanks very much!
@@isabellelaval7294 You're welcome!
211Shinobu Thank you for giving me the size of your pan and your baking time. I'm just about to make it and was wondering if my 8x8 inch pan would work. I'm also doing a half recipe.
@@asylum01vid How did it turn out?
211Shinobu The cake turned out great. I used fancy molasses instead of blackstrap because it was the only kind I had at the time. It's just a bit too sweet on its own, but was quite good when served with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream. I plan to make this again once I get my hands on some blackstrap molasses.
I often make only a half, third or quarter recipe, so I'm used to a bit of experimentation when I bake, but I really appreciated knowing what amount of milk, pan size and baking time would actually work. Thanks again for trying it first.
*Drops everything* The notification’s quite on time again 😊
Watten Slaafje me too!
These food making videos remind me of my work experience when i was 15. I went to a museum and basically acted alongside someone like Mrs Crocombe as a maid, but much a scarier one and based around the setting of the workhouses. Every morning i changed into my maid's dress. I did the same role play about 5 times, cutting up vegetables and frying pancakes on a pan on a fire. It was so surreal being in that experience all day and then walking the 10 minutes home back to normal life.
Omg, she's got on a new dress! Lovely colour!
Mrs Crocombe: *takes a bite of the cake*
her body: *sHIver Me tHImBerS*
Its Saint Hilda... I mean Mrs crocombe!
shantanu panda It’s Saint KATHY! Our favorite historical recreator!
No no no - It's St. Mrs. Crocombe. And she has a new dress!
I was just going to say something about this! Lol
Saint Hilda has left the convent!
😁lol
This whole aesthetic is so relaxing~
I love these videos and I'm always wanting more... What were the Lord and Lady like? How did the menu planning go? I need at least an hour long video!
Agree. I'd take a full series!
yay! for once i actually have all of the ingredients on hand. going to make this tonight to take to my sister’s for our family date to watch hamilton tomorrow 😁 (using molasses instead of treacle, because american 🤷🏼♀️) edited to add: ok dangit, i don’t have enough molasses. thankfully i do have a wonderful grocery not too far away that has blackstrap molasses 🙌🏻 so yep, going to the store at 9pm during a pandemic for molasses because i am making this dang cake tonight 😁
How did it turn out?
i’m a simple girl. I see Mrs Crocombe, I click. Always loving the videos!
karaboobies No. You’re a smart girl! You know quality videos! 😊
Chef John and Mrs. Crocombe uploading on the same day! Heaven!!!
Yes! A fellow Food Wishes fan! Love that channel. I seriously make a recipe of his at least once a week, if not more, and they've all been great.
I'd love a crossover. I don't know how they'd do it, but it would be fantastic to see. I can almost hear Chef John now, "You are, after all, the Mrs. Crocombe of . . ."
3:05 "you could use..."
a spoon?
"... A lighter colored treacle."
Ah.
exactly what i thought lmfao
Stirring around that Covid-19 into that mix lol
@Judy G a very thick sugar syrup
Mrs. Crocombe? Dropped everything!
Mrs. Crocombe is ASMR! Everything here is ASMR! Her accent,her voice,the gingerbread cake,the palace,the music and the old utensil equipments and the kitchen and especially the actress herself ❤️
PS:I want to go back at Victorian Era
This episode was awesome. Love how they told where the spices are from and included history about the taxes...
"this cake is really loved by the servants"
proceeds to stare at the depths of her audience
Almost threw down my phone clicking on the thumbnail ❤️
You will need: Bicarbonate of soda...well well well. I'm throughly enjoying this.
It's just baking soda, if that helps
I love warm gingerbread cake with vanilla ice cream. 😊
And a dash of brandy
I really love these cooking episodes with Mrs. Crocombe. It’s so interesting to learn how the Victorians cooked and the little tidbits of history as well!
Any video from English Heritage is a joy to see, but one with cooking and Mrs. Crocombe is even more so.
" What an International Cake!"
She's a polite lady and the recepies are also very sweet
Mrs Crocombe snatched my wig
My grandmother makes this with a lemon sauce at thanksgiving. Love it!
Melmur4564 would you share your granny's recipe for this lemon sauce, pl?
Isabelle Laval
1c sugar
2c boiling water
2 Tbs of butter
3 Tbs of flour
2 tsp of lemon flavoring ( or lemon zest to taste)
1/4 tsp salt
Mix the sugar, salt, flour (and zest is using) then add boiling water and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and add butter and lemon extract (if using) store in the fridge.
I like to warm up the sauce before using on the ginger cake.
@@MELMUR4564 thank you so much. I don't think I can wait until Thanksgiving to try it! I live in France and I'm not too sure my French husband will like ginger cake but I'll make it for myself and for my daughter. Thank you so much for your kindness in sharing a family recipe.
Gingerbread was always a favorite growing up. Now my grandniece asks for it and gingerbread cookies often.
This particular culinary artist is so delightful, personable and well-mannered.
I am just going to know this was released Just because I was thinking how much I needed a new video, and not 10 mins later here it is.. I am so glad you are seeing to my desires in such a timely manner... LOL
5:25 did she just pull out a hot cake with her bare hands?! Freaking savage Mrs. C once again
I absolutely love her videos. And historical information dispensed so casually, "this would be great for servants or a family". Thank you again!
I don't know why but i like more when mrs crocombe using her hand to mix than just using a spoon
The viscosity is so thick, I guess. It would be hard to use a spoon.
Always a delight when Mrs. Crocombe makes one of her recipes.
I like how over half of the video is just Mrs. Crocombe mixing the batter!
Very relaxing.
Mrs. Crocombe got a new 'fit yall!
Love how she is using her hand to mix. Best mixer me thinks.
My Grandma makes ginger cake for us fairly frequently. We always leave it for a day to make sure it's properly sticky! 😁 (She must use more black treacle though as hers is considerably darker.)
What a pleasure this channel is. There's nothing else like it on youtube. I would love to see a roast goose recipe
If my oven was working properly today, I’d make this in a heartbeat!
So delicious and such a beautiful recipe. 👍👍🌸🌸🍰🍰
I used to decorate Ginger Bread house for Christmas ... I made hundreds of it.. but never tried ginger bread cake ... It looks decadent .. and perfect for high tea
Omg... did you see the garden in the outtro.. So full of Spring! I hope it was a view of real time.
Happy Easter to everyone! 😊
Made this today, Sooooo good. Smell of ginger through the house as it bakes. Reminds me of the ginger biscuts my mum used to make growning up
This is the cake my gram always made! She would have loved watching this! Thank you for stirring up warm memories!
Mrs Crocombe is turning me into a better cook!
I will drop everything to watch Mrs. Crocombe!
I am a pastry chef, and watching these videos, makes me so happy, but on an average day I use about 10-15lbs of butter a day depending what I’m doing!
It is always so delightful to see mrs crocombe cooking
I just made this today and house smells so nice and the flavours...oh they are so good! Thank Mrs. Crocombe and English Heritage for putting this delight in my life! Attempting Saffron buns tomorrow.
Literally everyone needs to try making this, they're so good and this is one of the few times the ingredients are all essy to find
My comment today is I'm so addicted to this channel. Making my quarantine curfew so much better.🤗🤗🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🇯🇲
Love how she explains the origin of the ingredients since it was so significant back then
6:10 had me lmao I can't tell if it's delicious or she's being sarcastic 😂😂😂😂

I had try this recipe and it came out wonderful! Thank you for sharing mrs. Crocombe :)
I bet, Lord&Lady Breibruke could never guess, that 150 years ago, when they will be long gone&forgotten, their humble servant Mrs. Crocombe will become a real Queen of TH-cam, with half a million people looking at her "reincarnation" with admiration and a deep respect!
God I absolutely LOVE this lady!! I look forward to Mrs. Crocombe and her recipes!!
