Hiya! Use the following proportions for the glaze listed above, but 1. Melt the butter and then mix in all the rest of the ingredients, substituting fresh lime juice for the rum. Mix until a thin glaze forms. If it's not runny enough add more lime juice. If it's too runny, add more confectioner's sugar. You don't have to cook the entire glaze over the heat, like you do with a rum glaze.
Difficult times indeed. I have no energy to bake at the moment but really enjoyed the video. I also liked your (email) take on the awful war in Ukraine: "appears to be all about the perverted desires of one man". Well said.
Baking is all I seem to have energy for. It's a soothing distraction. Unless I'm watching the news while I bake. Hope you can give yourself a break. We all need it.
First, you are charming and I loved this video. Well done. Once I started baking from scratch I could not go back to packaged. As you say it takes seconds longer, and you know everything going into your end product. I love ginger so I am definitely going to try this. Unfortunately, not until my oven is repaired (igniter not working). Question about the glaze - did you poke holes the the cake to allow the glaze to seep in, Or is it meant only for topping purposes? If you wanted it to seep in, would you make the glaze more liquid? Thanks!
I loved this! It looks perfect for a St Patrick’s Day dessert. My adventurous husband thinks we should try making the glaze with Canton, the ginger liqueur. 🤔We might have to try it both ways.
Great video! Though it’s unfathomable how a half bottle of ginger beer could go undrunk. Must not have been Bundaberg ginger beer! Loved the cameo of your cat. Bosco next time ❤️
I love the video!! What a delight to actually see and listen to you! I hope we get more…
You are THE nicest.
Not a rum fan—any ideas for a lime-y glaze that would work?

Beyond the yummy looking cake and recipe, I'm happy to subscribe because you're adorable.
Does it have the taste of gingerroot or gingerbread or neither

Thank you for your kind words about the video. I do poke holes with a toothpick so the glaze can seep and glaze, if you know what I mean!
How do I unsubscribe??? Am not interest d in baking

Your husband is right. I was thinking of drizzling some King's Ginger (which must be similar to Canton) of the cake, then glazing it.
Are Cantin and King’s Ginger British? Not familiar with either.
Great video! Though it’s unfathomable how a half bottle of ginger beer could go undrunk. Must not have been Bundaberg ginger beer! Loved the cameo of your cat. Bosco next time ❤️
It absolutely wasn't Bundaberg. I'll look for it. Calvin is glad you appreciated his cameo. Bosco is jealous and will definitely nose in.
