welcome friends we've been working on some really cool ginger beer recipes and
the ginger beer is fermenting along really nicely here in the bottles but
I've been left with this sort of really mellow spiced ginger pulp most of the
ginger flavor is in the ginger beer but what I've got here is it's kind of
mellow and it's nice and it's spiced with pepper and cloves and star anis and
and cardamom and it's really kind of nice and fantastic and so I've been
thinking what can I do with it and the first obvious thought is a cake so I've
got a couple of different cakes that were gonna try and the one today is kind
of a nice easy ginger spice cake so butter into the pot water into the pot
the pots on sort of medium medium high we don't want to bring it up to a boil
we just want to melt everything together and the next thing is some fancy
molasses we need about a cup of this looks like there was only a couple f'd
in the carton I could have just poured it right in without measuring so this
goes in and we just want to melt and stir all of these things together well
this is melting together I just want to mix up the dry
ingredients so I've got flour cinnamon and baking soda you just want to stir
that together and get it incorporated
okay everything is melted together it's maybe a little hotter than I wanted it
to be but I think we'll be okay next in is some sugar and we just mix that in as
well as the ginger put that in as well just give it a really good whisk and
then I think I'm gonna let it cool down to two room temperature before I add the
extra ingredients now if you're new to the channel thank you so much for
stopping by welcome to the family and if you're
looking for this recipe we always put our recipes in
in the description box below the video here on YouTube so even though I don't
say what the amounts are while I'm cooking everything is down there you can
cut and paste click Save and then make it at home yourself okay now I'm gonna
whisk the eggs in and the flour just a little bit at a time okay that looks
really good smells fantastic too so I've got a 9-inch round cake pan with a piece
of parchment in the bottom and it's also buttered and if you want to learn how to
do a round parchment I'll put a link we've got a video on that and in goes
the batter and into the oven I think this is going to be pretty good
so Glenn I jumped ahead and I sliced it open I seized it hard at work
so what we have here is a ginger cake I think the general flavor is going to be
very sort of soft mmm but it's very pleasant and very moist because super
moist doesn't mmm so this is the ginger that was left over
from making the ginger beer oh okay until the dews for it until the ginger
is not explained why it's very fibrous cuz it's all yeah okay um so this isn't
this isn't overly gingery because as I said earlier most of the flavor should
be in the ginger beer but it's a nice it's nice soft ginger flavor and there's
some other spicing in there that's this really nice from it that's quite lovely
it's really moist isn't it yeah way so is there something particularly there's
two things okay the ginger itself had a lot of water in
it because oh I've been boiled in the and I also did this as a boiled cake oh
okay the water and the butter and everything in there and then and so all
of those things together make it really sort of moist so I also still have some
ginger left over and I'm thinking that orange cake that we did a few weeks ago
from oh yeah yeah but I can't remember who made it I don't know who made it
sounds good but I think putting some of this ginger in that would be really
because words in ginger go really nice together
yeah I look forward to that cake now you could do this in two smaller pans and
probably put a nice cream cheese frosting on it lovely and make it really
nice but as you probably figured out we don't do frosting are you doing a loaf
pan mm-hmm a loaf pan and you know have it as a tea cake or a visiting cake I
really like this visiting cake that's what they're called isn't it no he's a
very antiquated term I don't think anybody anymore says visiting cake
thanks for stopping by see you again soon
you
