DARK MOLASSES GINGERBREAD WITH WHIPPED CREAM
This gingerbread, from the chefs Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock, is just wonderful: a little spicy, a little sweet, very simple to make, and absolutely delicious. Whipped cream is an easy topping, although dulce de leche or another warm, caramel-y sauce takes it to a special place. But it's also kind of nice plain, wrapped in waxed paper and tucked inside someone's lunch.

MOLASSES GINGERBREAD WITH LIME CREAM
Moist, spicy gingerbread is one of those simple desserts that people tend to associate fondly with childhood holidays. For me, it harks back to the Christmas seasons that I spent as a kid in Europe where gingerbread is particularly popular. Blending a mixture of baking soda and boiling water into molasses has a magical transforming effect in the oven. The light brown batter becomes very dark, rich, and deeply flavored when baked. Fragrant with warm, fresh ginger, this gingerbread is very moist, simple to make, and irresistible. Lime Cream is an unexpected-but perfect-partner. The recipe makes enough cream for one gingerbread cake. Any leftover cream is delicious slathered over toasted pound cake, buttermilk biscuits, or brioche. Don't reserve this recipe just for holiday baking-it will make your family sublimely happy all year long.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
- Melt the stick of butter, pour into a large bowl, and allow it to cool slightly. Beat the sugar and eggs into the butter. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and grated ginger.
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Using a wooden spoon, stir the molasses and soda solution into the water. Whisk the dry ingredients into the sugar and eggs, then stir in the molasses mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, testing for doneness with a wooden toothpick in the center of the cake (it should pull out clean and free of batter). Another indicator is that the cake will pull away from the sides of the pan when it's done. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake, and invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Cut into squares and serve with Lime Cream.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, use the whisk attachment to whip the eggs and sugar at high speed until double in volume and light in color. Lower the speed and blend in the lime juice and zest.
- Pour the egg mixture into a medium metal bowl placed over a pot of simmering water (or a double boiler). Cook over high heat, whisking often, until smooth, very thick, and custardlike (about 20 minutes). Remove from the heat and use a wooden spoon to stir in the butter, a few pieces at a time, until it is fully incorporated. If the final mixture is lumpy, strain through a fine sieve. Otherwise, cool to room temperature.
- Using an electric mixer or a wire whisk, whip the heavy cream into soft peaks. Gently fold a fourth of the whipped cream into the lime curd. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- If you don't have time to let the dough chill overnight, you can chill it for at least 4 hours.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
- For the maple whipped cream, use real maple syrup for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cookies.
Conclusion:
This dark gingerbread recipe with maple whipped cream is perfect for the holiday season. The cookies are rich, chocolatey, and chewy, and the frosting is light and fluffy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
