It smelled really nice. It looked okay if a bit saggy and wobbly and very oily. Taste was...disappointing. Texture was fine, crumbly but moist and not greasy at all.

Weirdly enough, for something with that much sugar and honey in it, it was not at all sweet. Nicely spiced too. Overall, though, it was incredibly 'meh' and I chucked it. Because it was nicely spiced 'meh,' I'll try again with old fashioned cake batter next time, because I think the soft heat would work incredibly well with the creaminess of butter. And possibly honey with a bit more kick, as the acacia honey is mostly sweet without real taste.

Also, I'd quite like my kitchen to not smell of sex again. It's quite disconcerting.

heath honey, if you can find it. It's very spicy. (YUM!)

Mm. That could definitely work. I really should do more baking...

I'm actually wondering if one couldn't take my coconut cake, and instead of shredded coconut add grated fresh ginger to it.

The overall quantities means you have a smaller cake, which is good for testing, and then you can make a double batch easily enough if you like it.

Oooh. Now that's something I will try. Don't have time today, because I'm leaving tonight, but I'll remember it for next time. :)

Does sex smell of ginger then? Most odd...

I didn't even smell the ginger or the honey seperately. Normally you get a mix of smells, but this was just really weird.
