Ginger Cake

The ginger we eat is the root of the Zingiber plant.                                                                                           
This recipe uses candied ginger
got from King Arthur flour.
Because ginger is tropical it is not grown in USA
so, ginger is imported from Asia.
The flavor of ginger is stimulating
yet medicinally it is soothing.
