Gingerbread Cake Gingerbread Cake
This cake is inspired by the amazing Chef John @foodwishes. This cake is moist, dense and fudgy. The only kinda cake which I would eat, as you should have known by now. I love the wonderful aroma of gingerbread spice, especially during final baking process. If I were to compare my previous pumpkin cake and this gingerbread cake, I would definitely go for gingerbread.What really got me is the hint of molasses aftertaste. It lingers at the back of my mouth for quite awhile which leaves me wanting for more. Pls do not use fresh grated ginger. It will overpower everything else (speaking from experience). Just use regular ground ginger. I also added a pinch of Chinese 5 spice for that oomph undertone flavor.I also decided to add a touch of lemon glaze to bring freshness to the cake. You can of cos serve the cake as it is, or you can go the extra mile and serve it with ice cream and tuile. Pls do not be intimidated by the look of it. It is actually fairly simple and easy. If all hell breaks loose, try again cos at the end of the day, it is just a kitchen fail down the bin. What you gain is experience, which is priceless. Okay, enuff of ranting and let's get started with the recipe.

Pear, Almond and Semolina Cake Pear, Almond and Semolina Cake
I had lots of thick skinned but sweet and juicy pears, and they needed somewhere to go, other than into the juicer. This is what I came up with. It's delicious warm with a spoonful if whipped cream or creme fraiche, optionally dusted with confectioner's sugar.
