Mmm... cakes

Like I threatened, I baked some mini bundt cakes last night (and you just got to love that bouquet pan from NordicWare). Result was some green tea ginger cakes for breakfast this morning while watching Dr. Who - and I have to confess I ate three.

I was a bit dubious putting ginger in the cake - I know Dragon isn't a big fan of ginger, and even I thought the raw ginger might be too much. My mind changed though when I was making the cake mixture last night - the fresh fragrance of ginger and the wonderful spicy taste was nothing like ginger used in main courses. Baked, the taste of ginger is just refreshing, and not sharp at all.

If you want to try the recepie at home but you don't have any matcha powder, you can use normal green tea leaves - steep it with the tangerine juice (and drain, obviously). Similary, I didn't use tangerines as they're not in season - I used blood oranges instead, orange juice with ginger is just a fantastic combination. Thirdly - if using mayo in cakes seems weird, use yoghurt like I did (I happened to have vanilla yoghurt but anything would go, really).
