Directions
Crystallized Ginger – Yoghurt Pound Cake, A great cake to have with coffee and tea Very easy to make and tastes like you fussed Dense and buttery with a gingery zing , Mmmmmmmmm super yummy! I didn’t have crystallized ginger on hand, so I subbed ground ginger Still delicious but now I want to try it with the fresh stuff! The cake itself is so moist and tasty! Before taking it out of the bundt pan, I poked holes in the cake and poured a sugar honey glaze on Thanks for posting!!UPDATE: I finally got come crystallized ginger and made this cake as written I have to say the ginger was overwhelming and not in a good way Maybe I didn’t chop it up small enough? The base pound cake recipe, however, is still very delicious I’ll just use a non-ginger variation next time (or go back to powdered ginger), I really wanted the ginger to shine through in this dessert, but it didnt and wasn’t even recognizable Not as moist as I would have liked but it was still good

With Mixer Beat Butter For a Couple of Minutes Until White; Add Sugar and Extracts and Beat a Few Minutes Longer (about 8-9 Minutes in All); Add Eggs, One at a Time, Beating After Each Addition; With Mixer on Low (to Avoid Getting Flour Dust All Over the Kitchen) Add Flour, Baking Powder and Salt Alternately With Yoghurt; Beat in Ginger; This Makes a Very Thick Batter; Spoon Into Prepared Bundt Pan and Bake For 75 Minutes (but Start Checking With Toothpick to See If It's Done After an Hour (temperatures Vary from Oven to Oven). |

Variations: I Often Use the 'base' Recipe (omitting the Ginger) and 'marble Some of the Batter With Cocoa (add a Tablespoonful or So of Milk and 2 Heaping Tablespoonfuls of Cocoa to 1/3 of the Batter); or Make a Nut Cake by Stirring in 1 1/2 Cups of the Flour-Dusted, Toasted Nuts of Your Choice (a Sprinkle of Freshly-Grated Nutmeg Is Great in This Version); Our Current Favourite Is Chocolate, Chocolate/Chip Where I Add 3 Tablespoonfuls of Cocoa to the Batter (along With a Couple of Tablespoonfuls of Milk - or Buttermilk If You Have It) and Then Stir in 1 1/2 Cups of Flour-Dusted Chocolate Chips at the End, Before Spooning Into Pan. |
