4. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, flour, coconut, spices and a pinch of salt. Squeeze any lumps of sugar through your fingers, shaking the bowl a few times so they come to the surface.
5. Pour in the wet ingredients and use a large whisk to mix to a smooth batter. P
6. Pour into the tin, scraping every drop of the mixture out of the bowl with a spatula.
7. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. If there is any wet mixture clinging to it, bake for a further 5 mins, then check again.
8. Leave to cool for 15 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle over the ginger syrup.
9. To make the icing, mix the coconut milk with the icing sugar until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cake in squiggles, then scatter with the chopped ginger, pistachios and coconut flakes, if using.
