Sticky Ginger and Orange Cake

I made this for a coffee morning that I had been invited to. The recipe said that it was best to store the cake for a couple of days before icing, as it allowed the cake to mature and become moist and sticky. I was able to do this, and iced it on the morning.
I have to say that it was rather a nervous moment for me when people started tucking into it, having not been able to try it first, but Mary did not let me down.
It was really delicious, and not unlike Jamaica ginger cake. The only disappointment was that there was only a small piece to bring home! It scored 9.0
