1.1.4.  Put the softened butter into the whisking-bowl.  Or when cold, put the butter into the bowl and then wait till it reaches room temperature.  This way, less butter is left on the paper.  But otherwise the butter paper can be used to grease the baking pan.

1.1.5.   Measure out 2 cups of water into the water-bowl.

1.1.5.1.              Add the baking soda and salt and mix to dissolve completely.

1.1.6. To the butter-and-powdered-sugar in the whisking-bowl, add some of the water mixture.  Whisk.

1.1.7. Add some of the whole-wheat-and-ginger powder to the whisking-bowl.  Whisk.

1.1.8. Again, add some of the water-mixture.  Whisk.

1.1.9. Add the whole-wheat-and-ginger-powder to the whisking bowl.  Whisk.

1.1.10.    Repeat adding the wet-ingredients and the dry-ingredients alternately till both are completely added.

1.1.11.    Pour into the greased baking pan.

1.1.12.    Slide onto the top shelf of the pre-heated oven.

1.1.13.    Bake for 10 – 15 minutes at 200⁰C, then reduce the heat to 100⁰C and let the whole-wheat-coarse-flour soak in the liquid.

Remove and serve with fresh cream.
