Yep.

3 level tsps ground ginger
8 oz medium oatmeal
1 large egg
7 fl oz milk

Gas 2 or 140C for an hour or until skewer comes out clean

Melt marge, sugar and syrup in pan over gentle heat
Oil a deep roasting tin
Mix flour, baking powder, ginger and oatmeal in large bowl and pour warm syrup mix on top.
Add milk and beaten egg and mix well.
Pour into tin and bake in oven at Gas 2 or 140C
Cut into squares when cold and store in tightly lidded box.
