Gingerbread .... Cake

As we get through Halloween, it will be time to start thinking gingerbread. In-between now and time to make the houses, here's a gingerbread cake recipe from Bon Appetit that is worth a try.

Mix in a medium bowl:

1.5 cups flour

1 Tsp ground ginger

0.75 Tsp ground cinnamon

0.5 Tsp baking powder

0.5 Tsp baking soda

In another large bowl place 0.5 cup butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

Pour 0.5 cup boiling water and whisk until butter melts. 

Whisk in 0.5 cup brown sugar.

Add to the butter mix:

0.5 cup molasses

1 beaten egg

2 Tsp grated peeled ginger

Now add the flour mix to the butter mix and you are ready to bake.

Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter into it.

Bake in a 350 oven for about 25 minutes (or until it is cooked).

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then inverse and cool.

Excellent recipe.
