Zubereitung von African Ginger Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- (Optional) While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk (or lemon juice) until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
