Gingerbread I got this from Ruthie
today....THANKS, RUTHIE!!! It sounds YUMMY!
This makes a gingerbread 'cake', and goes NICELY with
a sourcream
frosting, like what you would put on a carrot cake. I
found it on
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup hot tap water
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch square
baking pan.
In a bowl stir together flour, baking soda, salt,
ginger, cinnamon,
nutmeg, allspice and pepper. In a large bowl mix
together the melted
butter and molasses. Stir in the water until well
mixed. Add the eggs and
mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients and mix until
just combined. Pour
into greased baking pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes
or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm
with whipped cream, ice
cream, applesauce, or sour cream frosting! Also nice
is topping it with a
custard sauce.
