Thanks! It's essentially Delia Smith gingerbread with all the spices switched (although she talks about orange zest and a tablespoon of water, while I always cheat with orange juice, hence the lime juice), so it does what it's meant to at least!
That was my hope as well. The flavours definitely work, though I have a feeling I may need more of everything (I was too wary of making something foul).
Exactly. Though I'm not sure about the stuff I've got - it was the only powder they had, but the paste next to it said it was 4%, and that's presumably including all the water in the volume as well, so I'm not sure I've got the best thing for this. I mean, it's not like you'd ever eat a teaspoon of ginger on its own either...
And ha! That would involve me finding a red velvet cake recipe to start with (I'd never even heard of it until a few years ago). I'm actually more tempted by the peach and habanero crumble, which was inspired by my misremembering a passion fruit and habanero liqueur I tried once (it has not been edited because I think it could still work), but I've yet to decide how you could get the habanero in without killing people. I'm thinking some sort of poaching would have to happen, but there are so many choices of booze...
I should be able to come! I need to sort things out - I haven't quite internalised that it's earlier this year, I think...
I think the recipe might be increased in heat, however, just because today they've neutralised to quite normal gingerbread, and that's not good enough!
