This afternoon I got down to making a gingercake to take to class this evening. This is a one pot recipe so no great amount of cleaning required after. But you do need a measuring scale in pounds and ounces. Here's the recipe:
4 oz. preserved ginger 1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 oz. butter 4 tbsp. milk
3 oz. syrup 8 oz. flour
1 oz. molasses 1 tsp. ground ginger
4 oz. brown sugar 1 egg and a pinch of salt
Put a pan on the scales and add the butter, sugar, syrup and molasses, weighing each ingredient as you add it to the pot. |
Meanwhile chop the ginger and add to the pot. When it is cool, add 3 tbsps. of milk and the egg. Mix well. |
Sieve the flour,salt and ground ginger into the pot and mix well, then add the baking soda dissolved in 1 tbspn. milk. . |
