Seems that you've been rapidly learning that science never goes to plan! I lost four days of control data the other week because some bright spark switched the tank room lights off over the weekend instead of leaving them on auto timer and my rays ended up spending 48h in the dark… Frustrating! I hope your project is coming together though and you're managing to make good progress :)Mel (Sharky Oven Gloves)http://sharkyovengloves.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210081555126257860.post-23161197165761016022013-03-02T09:40:40.275+00:002013-03-02T09:40:40.275+00:00Wow, really?

The ginger syrup definitely helped to intensify the ginger flavour adn increase the moistness of the cake.Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615752218013601640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210081555126257860.post-31419494321954878462013-03-01T21:23:10.089+00:002013-03-01T21:23:10.089+00:00Ooh what a good idea to use ginger syrup in the ca...Ooh what a good idea to use ginger syrup in the cake, I really must try that. Your cake looks lovely and topped off by that rather decedent looking ganache I'm sure it is delicious. It was good to be reminded of Baking with Spirit too!!!<br /><br />Your lab trials all sound very familiar. CT lost 6 months of his PhD experiments to some machines getting turned off when they shouldn't have been.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210081555126257860.post-43112061887697898072013-02-25T17:56:08.883+00:002013-02-25T17:56:08.883+00:00Glad to see I've converted you to ginger and c...Glad to see I've converted you to ginger and chocolate, it really is a wonderful combination and this cake looks delicious and very moist.

It's on the "list". :) I would love this cake especially with the Kahlua chocolate ganache. Well done! And, I enjoy the chemistry stories, too. I have a toxicology degree, so it's fun to read about what you're doing in the lab. We were never near that kind of equipment 25 yrs ago when I was in college. Times sure have changed!
