  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger.

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Buttermilk

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped candied ginger.
