Here is a new recipe for this Christmas time.
I love Christmas and usually the smell of spices reminds me of everything my mother did, this is my second Christmas without her and it's really difficult, when I'm sad I miss talk to her.
And I know it makes me especially sensitive and I try to continue and dont think so much..
I love these honey, ginger and orange cakes and love the color, that's why I like to cook and especially bake, apart from being a relax there are always new things to experience.
I hope to make another Christmas recipe but in any case I wish you a very merry Christmas with peace and love
I appreciate all yours comments : thanks
Source: Two cups flour
Orange ginger honey cakes
Ingredients
2 cups (250) all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon orange zest
6 tablespoons unsalted butter browned
3/4 cup (270 g) honey
2 tablespoon orange juice
1/2 (125 ml) cup whole milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Method
Preheat oven (170° c) 325 °F and prepare four mini loaf pans
(you can use if you prefer one large loaf pan : I use 3 mini loafs and two muffins molds)
(spray with non stick spray or a thin coating of butter and flour.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and orange zest.
Brown your butter by placing in a small skillet on medium heat. Stir until butter is melted. Continue to stir and heat until butter is foamy and brownish in color.
Pour brown butter into bowl of stand mixer.
Add honey, orange juice, milk, sugar and slightly beaten eggs.
Mix on medium with paddle attachment until smooth,
Slowly spoon in flour mixture on medium speed until a cake batter is formed (scrap sides and bottom of bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
Divide batter amongs the pans.
Place pans on cookie sheet and bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cover loaves with a sheet of aluminium foil through baking.)
Place pans on cooling rack to completely cool before removing,
