Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Softened unsalted butter, as needed
1 cup vegetable oil, like soy, peanut, or corn
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsulphured molasses
1 to 2 tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten with a fork
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup water
1 tablespoon baking soda
Serving suggestions: Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Lightly butter a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a piece of parchment or wax paper. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, molasses, and crystallized ginger. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, and cloves. Whisk the molasses mixture into the flour mixture until evenly combined.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Whisk the hot water into the batter until just combined. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the center of the oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tis' the season for a fluffy gingerbread cake! This is a small, easy gingerbread cake recipe flavored with molasses, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. It's incredibly flavorful and super moist. The cake is filled with ginger flavor and easy to make. It's the perfect cake to make and top with our gingerbread buttercream and just as tasty by itself as a snacking cake. We actually prefer it plain as the flavor is so good.

GINGERBREAD CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR SAUCE



Gingerbread Cake With Brown Sugar Sauce image

A delightful discovery I made in my Company's Coming 'Lunches' cookbook. The original recipe includes a lemon sauce, but we prefer brown sugar sauce with a generous dollop of whipped cream rather. Or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mmm, and the smell... **Update Aug '09: Forget brown sugar sauce! Make a double recipe as a sheet cake (bake for only 20 minutes @ 325) with a double recipe of Recipe#127144! I don't know why I haven't updated this sooner -- I've been making it this way for at least the last 2 years already!!
