The key ingredients to this cake are the cinnamon and ginger, which add a warm welcoming spicy flavor. Especially delightful when served with vanilla ice cream, yoghurt or crème fraiche. This recipe is loosely adapted from Bob’s Red Mill Baking Book by John Ettinger and Bob’s Red Mill Family, 2007.

Surpisingly good! ...even though I modified the recipe slightly. Tried swapping baking soda for a double measure of baking powder and it did rise. I substituted the butter for more vegetable oil, used grated fresh ginger and added a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. The texture was as close to perfect as it could get and everyone was amazed at how good it turned out to be. 4* since I modified the recipe after having tried it once as originally posted.Reply

The cake turned out very thin and dry, but the flavours were good. Next time I'll make it in a 8x8 or loaf pan and check it after 20 minutes. It was easy to make and my husband loved it slathered in cream cheese icing! I made the crystallized ginger using the recipe here: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/healthykitchenrecipes/r/crystallizedgin.htm. thanks!Reply
