"Follow the procedures carefully in this recipe to insure a good combination of ingredients and a moist, tasty cake." -- EclecticCooking.com

Ingredients:

4 large eggs
7 ½ oz (225 g) dark brown sugar, organic or natural is best
10 oz (300 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
7 ½ oz (225 g) butter
½ Cup (1 dl) milk
Grated rind of 1 orange

Directions:

Beat the eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes or until light. Sift the dry ingredients together. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. Stir together the grated orange rind and milk. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture alternately with the milk. Add the melted, cooled butter a little at a time and mix well. Pour into a form about 9 in (22 cm) in diameter and bake for 50-55 minutes at 350° F (175° C). Be careful not to bake this cake too long or it will burn and dry out. Let the cake cool on a rack.

Cut out some shapes (e.g. half moon, stars, basket, gingerbread man form) and place on the cooled cake. Dust with powdered sugar. Remove the shapes and serve with ice cream, crème fraiche or whipped cream.
