Gingerbread Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 large egg
1/2 cup hot water
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the hot water.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the gingerbread cake warm or at room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
