Ginger Cake
mrs bouquet:
Can I introduce fresh ginger into a cake, and if so, how do I do it ? Thank you, Mrs Bouquet
hamstergbert:
Can just scrape the outer skin off the root and grate it with a fairly fine grater into your cake mix - easiest way is to sieve the flour/BP/dry spices onto the op of your sugar/eggs mix then grate the root on top before folding the flour etc in.
Banana and ginger cake will handle larger gratings - smaller of my cheese graters produces flat narrow flakes. That goes into the mix alongside the mashed banana. Don't overdo it - the gingeriness seems to increase during baking.
I really must get back into baking...
mrs bouquet:
Thanks for your reply, I am ready to go now. :D Mrs Bouquet
