Light and Moist Candied Ginger Cake

This is not a dark and spicy gingerbread, but instead a pale gold cake containing the sweet bite of candied ginger. If you can’t find candied stem ginger in syrup, look for plain dry candied ginger, the kind rolled in a little sugar, and use a cupful of it, chopped. Be sure not to over bake because this is not a cake you want to dry out. Once a tester shows a few crumbs clinging to it, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool.
