WHOLE WHEAT GINGERBREAD

Steps:

• This recipe came from a cookbook published in 1923. I made alterations to the sugar and fat content, and have been very pleased with the results. If you want to do the original version, then replace the Splenda with white sugar, and the Apple Butter with regular butter.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan, or spray with Baker's Joy cake release.
• Mix sorghum with Splenda and apple butter. Sift or stir together the flours, soda, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to sorghum mixture and blend well. Add boiling water until well blended. Then stir in the well-beaten eggs quickly.
• Pour into prepared pan. This is a very thin batter, but do not add more flour.
• Bake until top springs back when softly touched, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool before removing from pan. Cut into 15 or 20 squares, depending on desired size. Good when dusted with powdered sugar.
• This can also be made into layer cake with filling between layers and on top. A good filling for this is Lemon Butter (see recipe in my box). Or you can thin cream cheese with a little sorghum and use that. Also good topped with a large dollop of whipped cream.

TRADITIONAL GINGERBREAD LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and dust with flour or line with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg together in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
• Combine milk, brown sugar, molasses, oil, applesauce, and eggs in a large bowl; mix together until well blended. Stir into flour mixture until just blended. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature, or freeze.
