Ginger Cake

I love ginger biscuits! Simple, tasty biscuits. I love ginger as a flavour in cakes and biscuits. I wanted to try and make my own ginger biscuits. I have to be honest here that I was suppose to make biscuits, but the batter or rather the dough that I prepared for biscuits was very loose; so I could not make them. Instead I baked the batter in cake tin and guess what, the cake turned out very nice. :-)
Ginger cake has a different taste compared to other cakes. The otherwise plain simple cake has an after-effect of the ginger flavour, which is awesome.

For this you need:-

1 cup - Refined Flour

1 1/2 tsp.-Baking powder

3/4 cup - Sugar

1 Egg

2 tsp. Grated Ginger

1 tsp. Vanilla essence

1/2 cup Milk

Sliced almonds for crunchiness (optional)

1 tsp ( yes 1 tsp.)- Butter

1. Pre-heat the oven at 160 o C. Grease and dust baking dish with butter and flour respectively.

2. Mix together flour, baking powder, ginger, sugar and sliced almonds.

3. Now add egg, vanilla essence and milk to adjust the consistency of the batter.

4. Mix it well. Take care while mixing so as to avoid lumps.

5. Pour the prepared mix in the baking dish. Bake the batter for approximately 35 minutes at 160 0 c .

6. Once done, remove, let it cool. The tasty Ginger cake is ready.
