  Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22cm square baking pan and line the base and sides with baking paper.

  Sift flour, baking powder and ginger into a bowl and mix to combine. Place butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat until thick and pale.

  Meanwhile, for the ginger icing, place the butter, golden syrup, icing sugar and ginger in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until butter has melted. Pour ginger icing over the cooked base while both are still hot and set aside to cool completely. Once cool, set aside at room temperature for 1 hour or until set.
