There are so few recipes around using oil that I would have found this one somewhere else, eventually, even if I'd never found your blog! :)Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-85737369794462998872012-01-25T21:16:48.326+00:002012-01-25T21:16:48.326+00:00It wasn't the texture as much as the flavour t...It wasn't the texture as much as the flavour that I didn't enjoy. I think it was either the aftertaste of the pecans or some peculiar interaction between the pecans and ginger. <br /><br />Interestingly, I haven't mentioned that I don't like the cake, and neither CT nor Hubs has said anything bad about it - so perhaps it's just me!Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964357114353714908.post-35460520310646076942012-01-25T20:33:59.124+00:002012-01-25T20:33:59.124+00:00Oh Suelle, I hate when I bake something I'm no...Oh Suelle, I hate when I bake something I'm not happy with. To be honest, I don't think the addition of the ginger could have turned it so wrong. I've made this cake 3 times and my sister has made it once and every time it's turned out great, with a caramel taste. I almost feel responsible for this but I really don't know what went wrong.
