McVitie's Jamaica Ginger Cake > Reviews (10)

If you have read any of my other reviews, you would probably already know that I have such a sweet tooth! I was wondering around the supermarket looking in the cake section, when I saw the 'Mcvities Jamaica Ginger cake' I had never tried it before so I thought I would give it a go.

The cake comes in a red plastic packet with 'Jamaica Ginger' written across it in bold. On the front of the packet it has some information on the contents of the cake and on the back it has further information on the ingredients.

The cake itself is very soft and has a slightly sticky texture around it and it very moist. The cake comes in the shape of a loaf of bread but slightly smaller and serves around 10 people. It is very tasty and has a very distinct ginger taste. People serve this cake in different ways; with butter or margarine, with a cup of tea. However I prefer to eat it with warm custard, as I think that it is a nice combination of flavours.

If you do not want to eat the cake all at once then that is fine because if you open it and then leave it in the cupboard for a couple of days the cake still seems to stay as moist as when you first opened it which is great!

You can pick this cake up at most supermarkets and even at your local Coop, they sometimes have it on offer in the coop.

1/10th of the cake provides:
- 93 calories
- 9.7g of sugar
- 2.7g of fat

Overall I think the cake is very delicious and moist and great to have with custard or a cuppa!
