Standard gingerbread
Bread
Armenian cuisine
I've just begun working on a healthier gingerbread cake recipe. For my first go, I started with the gingerbread recipe in <a href= <br />http://standardbakingco.com/book/">"Standard Baking Co. Pastries"</a> by Allison Pray and Tara Smith. Standard Baking is one of the best bakeries in Maine, if not the best, and while this slim volume doesn't have any of the recipes for Standard's incredible breads, their homely pastries are all here. Including gingerbread. <br /> <br />My changes include replacing half the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat pastry flour, the cloves in the spice mix with allspice, and using a chai-tea buttermilk infusion instead of the cold water the recipe calls for -- particularly for those days where I want a lighter cake, and want to replace the molasses with maple syrup, another Maine standard flavor. <br /> <br />This is a moist, delicious cake with a delicate crumb. Enjoy it Maine-style, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
