WHITE PEPPER AND GINGER LEMON CAKE This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Madden Estate in Elmo, Texas in 1991.

  10. Bake for 75 minutes.
  11. Make glaze as soon as the cake is put in the oven to allow the flavors time to meld.

  14. Remove pan and place cake on rack over a large piece of foil to catch drippings of the glaze.

  17. Glaze cake with a pastry brush while cake is warm allowing some glaze to drip into the hole.
  18. If some of the glaze drips onto the foil pour the glaze back over cake then set aside until cool.
  19. Using 2 wide metal spatulas transfer cake to a serving plate and wrap in plastic wrap.
  20. The cake is better if it ages for a day or two.
