Ginger, ginger, ginger - is that not the spicy root that completes our seasoning of chicken, fish etc? That is right! In fact recently, I came across a sweet in my country, Ghana, called Ahomka Ginger. How do I describe it to the 'Ghanaian palate novice?' Just imagine sweet ginger -yes, ginger that is sweet. Hot and spicy but sweet. Ginger drops instead of the usual lemon drops that we are used to.

That was the precursor to my introduction of the ginger cake. Ginger what?...You heard right...ginger cake. By the time I am done, I would hope to have either intrigued your taste buds or awakened a taste that has been left dormant because of your inability to find the -oh so perfect ginger cake.

Till my next post, adios

Have you ever enjoyed a slice of yummy banana cake and just could not find any other that tasted so good?

Well, that is how I set out to recreate the taste I experienced way back in 1997 at the Bruma Lake Flea Market, Johannesburg. The banana cakes would come out early on Saturday mornings arranged on a cart. All it took was one bite to convince us that the journey had been well worth it.

it was that kind of cake that was moist, dark, not too sweet and extremely 'banana-ey'. All it needed was a large cup of hot chocolate (tea or coffee if that works for you) and a gooood book - oh and do not forget you need a nice comfy sofa to snuggle up in....
