Cooking With Richard

Blandford Fly is a light ale spiced with ginger, tasting somewhere between ginger and cloves. I’m sending a bottle to N-sama’s dad.

I might try their recipe for ginger cake.

Update: This is how the ginger cake turned out.

I had to cut off the top which burned slightly. The recipe says to cook it for an hour, but next time I’d be inclined to reduce that to 45-50 minutes. The result is pleasant - the taste is rather too much treacle and not enough ginger or spice. That may be to do with the fact that I made the “mixed spice” up (I just added mace, allspice, cinnamon and ground coriander in mostly equal proportions); and I used quite a lot of ground up fresh ginger instead of using ground ginger.
