Description

This dark and dense gingerbread cake is a fall favorite at our house. We top it with applesauce for breakfast or an after-school snack, and my grandmother topped it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1-½ teaspoon Ginger
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Dark Molasses
  • 2 teaspoons White Vinegar
  • 1 cup Boiling Water

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9″ x 13″ cake pan.
2. Mix together dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another bowl.
3. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
4. Pour mixture into prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Let cool slightly before serving; top with applesauce or ice cream if desired.

I really like this. I’m eating it as we speak. The flavor is excellent! More like actual gingerbread than some other recipes I’ve tried. My texture was a little odd, but that’s because all I had was bread flour and splenda :) It’s still so good, though! Thanks for the great recipe.

Was burt at 35 minutes and was too chewy, likely due to not having any oil/fat source.
