The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. |
| Mark Twain |
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Preheat oven to 325'F. (165'C.). Grease an 11x7" baking pan. Line
bottom and sides with greased waxed paper, allowing paper to stand 1"
above sides of pan. Sift flour, salt, Mixed Spice, ginger and baking
soda into a bowl. In a saucepan, combine corn syrup, molasses,
margarine and brown sugar and heat gently until melted. Stir into
flour mixture and add eggs and milk. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven 45-50 minutes or
until well risen and baked through. Cool in pan, turn out and remove
waxed paper. To make icing, put cream cheese into a bowl and soften
well. Gradually sift powdered sugar into cream cheese and mix well,
using a fork, to make a soft creamy mixture. Spread icing over cold
cake. Using blade of a knife, form a rippled effect on icing.
Decorate with crystallized ginger. Cut into 12 pieces.
