This is definitely a keeper, very addictive. Loved the combination of ginger and the tartness of the lemon. I only used 1 tablespoon of pepper because when I tasted the batter it seemed peppery enough. But there wasn't much after it was baked, so next time I will use more. Thanks so much!

This was a really really yummy cake. Will definately make again and have been asked for the recipe also. No need to tone down the ginger or pepper ( had no white pepper and fine black was great ) this was really quirky and delicious! Thanks Julesong - its a keeper!

This cake is wonderfully moist and lemony with a capital L! The white pepper and ginger give it a delightful bit of warmth.

I tried this cake out of curiousity, just to see what a cake flavoured with pepper would taste like. I am very pleasantly surprised. I used 1 tsp. of fresh ginger and 1-1/2 tsp. white pepper. When you bite into the cake, you can't taste the spices but afterwards there is a very pleasant tingle on the tongue. My cake was baked through after 1 hour. I didn't make the lemon glaze this time but will try it if I make the cake for company. This is a definite keeper!

YES! This cake is just PERFECT for my tastes! I made it as directed with the maximum amounts of ginger and white pepper. It has a lovely texture and buttery lemon flavor with the warm heat coming through as an after effect. Just LOVELY! Everyone at my work enjoyed this as well. I made this for A Taste of Yellow Livestrong Day.

I served this at a family gathering, so I toned down the ginger and pepper a little bit just to be safe (used about 1 1/2 tsp each). While you could definitely tell they were in there, it was in no way overpowering. Even the children thought it was great! When (not if!) I make this again, I'll use the full amounts for a more intense flavor. Thanks for the great recipe, Julesong.
