Ginger Butter Cakes with Lemon Ginger glaze icing.

Mak requested the cake, as it reminded her of the old days - simple butter cakes with crusty top. But being the 'out of the box' baker *hehe*, i would not settle with the usual butter cake recipe so Mak suggested the above, which she found among the growing collection of my cooking books.

The cake tasted simply delicious, and somehow reminded me of banana cake. Without the aftertaste of bitter ginger we would usually get when baking any cookies/cakes using it. Some people might be put off upon seeing the glaze icing, berenang-renang di tepi kek. hehe. But rest assured, the cake itself wasn't too sweet, and the lemon ginger icing provided the adequate sweetness.

Another keeper definitely. Oh, one slice was not enough, as Mak and Adik said. hehe. Eat with your eyes close, and altogether now.. "MMmmmMmm"
