Comments on: Ginger Parkin – no eggs, vegan suitable if you use margarine & soy milk! http://helen.coker.com.au/recipes/ginger-parkin-no-eggs-vegan-suitable-if-you-use-margarine-soy-milk/ detailing my explorations of the gastronomic universe Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:17:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: faye http://helen.coker.com.au/recipes/ginger-parkin-no-eggs-vegan-suitable-if-you-use-margarine-soy-milk/comment-page-1/#comment-2 faye Fri, 14 Sep 2007 11:22:06 +0000 http://helen.coker.com.au/2007/09/12/ginger-parkin-no-eggs-vegan-suitable-if-you-use-margarine-soy-milk/#comment-2 I just made it now (any excuse to eat something that tastes like Anzac biscuits ;) ) I used less sugar than the recipe stated as 99% of the time, cakes are too sweet for me. I also ommitted the ginger as I'm not overly fond of ginger in cakes. I also used a reduced fat spread. Verdict: I think the ginger, even a little, is needed for that extra kick. For me, the cake had the right level of sweetness. I was feeling a little greedy so I ate a piece as soon as it came out of the oven (but it fell apart), with icecream as it was quite puddingy. It's something I will certainly make again. Next time, I might try half wholemeal half plain flour, with the ginger.
