I'm still tinkering around a bit with food photography and lighting and all that, so please bear with me as I perfect my technique *sniffs snootily and samples a soupcon of snuff*. As usually happens, last night I got a bit antsy and started looking around for something to bake. My sister chose this recipe. I'm really rather glad that she did. Any baked goods I tend to make nowadays generally get sent either into a) our cookie jar or b) the hungry mouths of Piper's starving, sleep deprived architecture cohort. "It's a lot like giving to the needy," observed my good friend Ben Kruger-Robbins after dropping off the leftovers from our end-of-semester party at her architecture studio. The half-empty bags of Doritos were being set upon like wounded baby zebras by a pack of wild dogs.
I got the recipe for this bad boy over here at palate/palette/plate. It's a fairly simple sweet bread, doesn't take too long to assemble or bake and packs a nice wallop of ginger at the tail end of a bite (didn't get much of the java but that could be because I used fairly anemic coffee). The bread is so soft that you can slice through it without having to make any sort of sawing motion. And it's just the kind of thing that will cure your insomniac baker's blues.
So try it out and let me know how it goes! Piper is taking it to studio soon, so this poor loaf is not long for this world. Spare it a good thought.
