I got this recipe from a friend who aquired it from a friend in Ireland. Very moist with a great gingerbread taste. Great with a dollop of real whip cream. Ingredients:
1 cup molasses |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
2 1/2 cups flour |
1 1/2 cups boiling water |
1/2 cup butter |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1 large egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Stir together molasses and boiling water; add soda and let cool till lukewarm.
3. Cream butter and sugar; add egg.
4. Sift all remaining ingredients.
5. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
6. Add molasses mixture; batter will be very thin.
7. Place batter in 9 x 13 pan.
8. Bake for 20 minutes then reduce heat to 300° and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until cake tests done.
