  1. This recipe is confusing. It tasted ok, but the texture was a bit dry. I probably overbaked it. 45 minutes was way too long, and even at 35, it was dry. Also didn't understand the orange zest and ginger at the end. Assume it was a garnish, but it wasn't specified. The directions need a definite correction, as the sugar isn't even mentioned in them. New bakers could end up with quite an interesting cake!
