Add 2 cups of water to a saucepan over high heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of grated ginger to the water.

Allow the ginger to boil for about 5 minutes.

Add 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar and the spices (1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg) to the boiling ginger water until they completely dissolve.

Add 2 cups of unsalted peanuts to the mixture.

Allow the peanuts to cook for about 40 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.

After 10 minutes, check the mixture; the liquid should be reducing.

Continue cooking for another 10 minutes until the mixture is thick and the liquid is mostly gone.

Turn off the stove and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, mixing everything together.

Quickly spoon the mixture onto a baking tray before it hardens.

Allow the nutcake to cool for about 3 to 4 hours before tasting.
