I won this pair of pot holders in an auction
and got myself this single set of
blue and white for a song!
~ happiness ~
I have been wanting this for the longest time!

I like the name of January's cake
old fashion pound cake ~ we get to make any variation
we like ~ spirited or nutty or chocolate chip...
I had forgotten to blitz the chocolate chips and add it to the batter....
(cos I made mini-s ~ bake time was only 30mins in my gas oven)
sigh....
so I made a ganache with them!
my variation for the pound cake:
infused finely chopped crystallised ginger in the 1/4 cup of milk
and for garnish
a drizzle of the ganache over the cooled loaf cake
and decorated with some chocolate dipped strawberries!
so here's my ginger pound cake!
the taste was okay - hope its more pronounced
tomorrow!
(apologies for the quality of pictures,
dropped my Sony camera my son-in-law gave me,
so using an old camera which I have forgotten
how to use!)
this is our 3rd recipe from

Emily, your cake turned out so good! I love that you took those lost chocolate chips and made a drizzle out of them. Great idea! And I LOVE that blue plate set, too! : )
Great idea to use ginger with a chocolate chip glaze. Yum!

I can always count on you to make a cute variation! And the ganache looks yummy!
Your cake looks wonderful!
I love ginger so I know I will be making this cake again with that idea. Sorry to hear about your camera, I think I would be in tears if that happened.
So loving the ginger and chocolate combo!
Love your plates and your variations sound great! I hope you liked it better the next day :) Great job!
I LOVE ginger and it sounds so good in a pound cake!
Emily, I love the blue/white plate set!! They look so kewl! Btw, chocolate and ginger seem to be an interesting combination that I've never tried before. I will want to try this version of yours the next time I bake a pound cake. Good job on the lovely cakes!!
First off I just LOVE the dishes you found! They are gorgeous just like your cakes!! :-)
How fun to win something and get a set of dishes you have been wanting!
Your mini cakes all look so yummy, especially with the ganache on it.
