Ginger Cake Recipes

The Cook & the Chef - ABC TV - great with a cup of tea; more of a cookie than a cake

Whole wheat flour makes a better-for-you addition to this updated ginger cake. The creamy yogurt topping is like the icing on the cake, it's the best part! (Found on yoplaitusa.com - added it here so I can add it to my food list.)

Adapted heavily from Gourmet June 2009, a fresh-ginger spiked cake batter is topped with a starburst of ripe pear slices. No butter in this recipe - cream cheese provides a luxurious body instead.

SUGAR FREE NO BAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE

This dense, brownie-like snacking cake is packed with a double hit of ginger - fresh minced adds a wallop of spicy heat, while crystallized ginger (with it’s syrup) lends a slower, gentler burn. Grossly adapted (especially veganized and de-glutened) from David Lebovitz's Fresh Ginger Cake

A lovely, delicately spiced cake.

Grind the almonds, walnuts, and cacao in a food processor until it resembles bread crumbs. Add the sea salt, ginger, coconut nectar, dates and vanilla and mix again until you achieve a smooth texture. Press the mixture into a 9 x 5 inch rectangular glass baking dish. The coconut nectar will hold the moist ingredients together, so baking isn’t necessary.

Cut the cake in half and separate with a spatula, as you will be stacking one half of the cake on top of the other to create a two-layer cake. Frost one of the halves, then stack the other half of the cake on top. Finally, frost the top of the double-layered cake with the remainder of the frosting. Slice into six pieces lengthwise and across. Garnish with a little mint on the side to add a pop of color and enjoy!

This makes a lovely bundt cake that is a great dessert to share. It's great as is, or you can serve w/ a bit of whipped topping, sorbet, or a fruit sauce would also be light and good. For those not used to the ginger, it can add a bit of a kick, but my family loves the flavor. If you can find crystallized ginger in bulk bins near you, you will save a bundle. The toughest part is grating the ginger-- otherwise the cake comes together fairly easily. I tried this recipe as is the first time, but I imagine you could cut the butter in half and sub in some applesauce without massively compromising texture.

Less saturated fat than traditional ginger cake, still moist.
