I thought this recipe would be pretty easy, and a good way to ease back into this project. There are a number of great recipes still to be made.
This recipe is in three parts: The batter (THICK!), the bottom (a little crumbly), and the icing.
The first tricky thing here was dicing the candied ginger. Candied ginger is so sticky on the inside of the pieces that it gummed up my my chopper pretty good. As a result, the pieces were larger than I wanted them to be.
Rather than have the cake filled with ginger chunk land mines, I opted to include the ginger only in the bottom - this way it can either be enjoyed or easily picked out.
This cake is very dense, and is almost like a scone.
