26th AprilGinger Root Cake: A Slice For Me? Not so quick. I can’t stop baking from the cake chapter of Dan Lepard’s Short & Sweet. What a fantastic cookbook by this British author. This moist ginger cake is unusual with the peppery bite of grated turnip. Pieces of candied ginger, ground ginger, and molasses give us the familiar taste of gingerbread. It is made entirely of whole wheat flour but you would never guess except for the subtle nutty undertone. I topped each slice of cake with squiggles of lemon ginger icing.

12th JanuaryDIY Toffee!! Really easy to make
Ingredients:
25 gr of butter
150 gr of sugar
250 ml of cream
75 ml of molasses
Boil all ingredients in a pot and continuously remove. To check if the toffee is done, put a few drops of the mixture into a glass with cold water. If drops are consistent and can be caught with your fingers is that it is ready. Put in a silicone mold or make your own mold with aluminum foil. It must result in a rigid rectangular plate of toffee. To speed up the process we can put it in the fridge for a while. Cut into squares and wrap in cellophane.
