Irish Whiskey and Ginger Cake
I had my DNA done several summers ago and when I got the results, I was surprised and very pleased to discover that I was 27% Irish. It brought a whole new meaning to Saint Patrick’s Day because now I could actually participate in the wearing of the green with pride in my ancestry and where my roots came from. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day and what better way to celebrate than with a delicious cake! And not just any cake, but an Irish Whiskey and Ginger Cake!
Serves 8 to 10
This is about to become your favourite teatime cake. It is fantastic, with a warm golden colour and a pleasant sweet spicy flavour.
250g crystallized ginger, diced (approximately 2 cups)
3 TBS Irish whiskey
150g (2/3 cup)
100g caster sugar (1/2 cup)
3 large free range eggs
70g ground almonds (1/2 cup)
2 TBS ground ginger
150g plain flour (1 cup plus 1 1/2 TBS)
50g self raising flour (1/3 cup)
Preheat the oven to 150*C/300*F/ gas mark 2. Butter and line a 7 inch round baking tin with baking paper. Set aside.
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir together both flours the ground almonds and the ground ginger. Stir this ito the creamed mixture along with the soaked ginger and the juices from the soaking bowl. Spoon into the prepared baking tin, smoothing over the top. Sprinkle the reserved ginger over top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 80 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. This cake keeps well for 7 to 10 days in a tightly covered container.
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
