This recipe was given to me by a good friend years ago. You may call it Molasses Cake or Gingerbread, as I do. It makes a big 9x13 pan. This is the recipe I use for Gingerbread. Yum. Put whipped cream on top and you have a great dessert. Best part about this recipe is that you dump everything in you mixing bowl and mix. Then add the boiling water and you are done.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup melted shortening
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup boiling water
Directions:
1. Mix everything together EXCEPT the boiling water and mix well.
2. Add the boiling water; mix well.
3. Put into a greased and floured 9x13 pan and bake 350 degrees for 25 minutes till done.
4. Serve with whipped cream.
