  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the sage caramel by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Add heavy cream and sage leaves, stirring until combined and simmering for 5 minutes.
  9. Remove sage leaves and let the caramel cool slightly.
  10. Once the cake is done, let it cool before drizzling with sage caramel.
