Hi everyone!~
Guess where I am...
I'm right here in Malaysia visiting my dear granny. She's always supportive and encouraging towards my baking passion. Granny is my no.1 supporter and I love her so very much.
Today, she gave me this very meaningful and thoughtful precious gift....
It's a golden rice bowl...with a pair of golden chopsticks and golden spoon. It's her way of expressing her happiness and also to reward me for scoring well in my baking exam. I am really happy that she is so proud of me.
As I was sitting at the hall today, I noticed the wall covered with pictures of the cakes or pastry I've baked. It was a big surprise to see all my works on my granny's wall... and I'm touched right inside my heart. My granny is the kindest and most generous person I have ever met.....
For my number 1 supporter, I came up with 3 new creations (granny in my mind and heart)....that I hope she will enjoy and always remember.
First on the list.... brown sugar and ginger sponge cake...
Granny LOVES ginger! She will chew ginger pieces stir fried in veggies... ginger slices in steamed fish... ginger tea.. ginger jam.... and even ginger chocolate. Yes. That's how much she loves ginger. She says ginger can help get rids of her wind, helps with digestion, and its good for health. :)
This is my brown sugar & ginger sponge cake, made with freshly squeezed ginger juice! I used dark brown sugar and cut down on the amount of sugar because granny don't like it too sweet.
Here it is....
You'll love this cake if you love ginger!
Grandma simply loved it because it's not too sweet (used dark brown sugar)... so did everyone else here in our family. :)
Look out for the next one! Granny's Fav: Watermelon Tarts!!
Enjoy!~~
Love,
Eileen
