Orange Ginger honey Cakes ( mini cakes de miel, jengibre y naranja)







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,

  3. Those toadstools♥♥And perfect little loaves.
    You know something happened to me this week..and all of a sudden last night..I thought..oh my mom would have been smiling about this .They are always on our minds and I seem to pray to her..always ,,the past 46 yrs.
    Some loves are never forgotten Gloria.
    It is sad..but how lucky were we to have such loving mothers who have stayed with us in our hearts all these years.
    May you find peace thei Christmas.
    And Love always.

  7. Gloria, Lovely little orange ginger honey cakes...tis the season for baking goodies! I just bought my wife a new fancy mixer which I'm afraid will lead to more baked goods and more of a challenge in keeping the weight off! Merry Christmas! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
