OLD FASHIONED GINGERBREAD CAKE

- 2. This can be mixed right in the pan. Measure all the dry ingredients into the prepared pan. Make 3 wells in the flour, and put the vanilla, vinegar, and oil into the 3 wells. Pour the cup of water over all and stir together with a fork until well blended.
- 3. Here is how I prefer to do it: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk the liquid ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- 4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. I think mine was done at 33 minutes. Cool in pan. May be iced with the following glaze:
- 5. Orange Glaze: Whisk a dash of salt into 2 tablespoons orange juice. Add up to 2 (or so) cups of powdered sugar until thick glaze consistency is reached. Spread on cake and allow to cool before cutting into squares.
