	Dense, moist and chewy - sure to please ginger lovers. If you are trying to add more whole grains to your diet, this is a recipe that works well with whole wheat flour.   Directions Prepare pan: oil an 8 inch springform or other baking pan. Cut a circle of parchment paper (use aluminum foil if you don't have parchment) to fit the bottom of the pan. Press into place, then oil the parchment. Preheat the oven to 325° F.. Mix dry ingredients (flour, ground ginger, soda and salt) and set aside. Soak raisins or apricots in 2 tablespoons liquid (sherry, wine, orange juice or milk) Cream butter and sugar (mix together until somewhat fluffy - an elecrtic mixer makes this much quicker). Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add honey, molasses, fresh ginger (See TIP) and crystallized ginger. Mix well. By hand, stir in flour mixture just until well blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until a skewer or cake tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 45 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 - 15 minutes before removing from pan. Carefully remove paper or foil from the bottom. TIP: To keep fresh ginger on hand, peel it and freeze in a small glass container. To use, grate or chop as needed, without thawing.	2
