Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter , plus
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar , plus
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup real maple syrup , plus
  • 3/4 cup molasses , plus
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp baking soda , dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water
  • aluminum foil (grease a 12x8x2 roasting pan or spray with cooking spray) or parchment paper (grease a 12x8x2 roasting pan or spray with cooking spray)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar , plus
  • 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar , sifted
  • 1 tbsp warm milk
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in its water.
  3. Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it into the pan and bake for 3/4 - 1 hour until risen and firm.
  4. Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry on cooking as it cools.
  5. And when it is cool, begin the frosting. Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add extract and milk, as needed to make desired consistency.
  6. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.
