Very rich "double" ginger cake. Crystallized ginger is found in the Asian food section. I like to eat it like candy!

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose white flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup hot coffee (strong!)
1 cup molasses
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon canola oil
confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; lightly oil an 8-by-8-inch baking pan or coat with non-stick spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Oil or spray paper.
  • Sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt into a mixing bowl. Add crystallized ginger and stir to coat.
  • In another bowl, stir baking soda into hot coffee and whisk in molasses, egg white and oil. Pour into the dry mixture; stir JUST UNTIL BLENDED. Do not overmix or the cake will be tough.
  • Scrape the batter into the pan and bake 30-40 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn the cake onto a wire rack and cool until lukewarm.
  • Sprinkle the cake with confectioner's sugar or lay a stencil or paper doily on the cake and dust with sugar. Carefully remove the doily or stencil.
