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!!

SOY AND BROWN SUGAR GINGER SAUCE



Soy and Brown Sugar Ginger Sauce image

Great Asian inspired sauce I whipped up for some fried wontons, but learned it would work on just about anything! Sweet and Salty and so easy to make. A must have now in my fridge!

Provided by DomesticPrincess

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 dash rice vinegar
1 dash fish sauce
1 dash sesame oil
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 -3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 tablespoon Chinese duck sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon honey
1 -2 sliced green onion (Green and White parts)
1 -2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • I use a spoon to get the skin off the ginger, and store extra in the freezer- makes it much easier to grate/mince if frozen. All ingredients are really to taste- the base being brown sugar and soy sauce. I would do a taste test first. Its about two to one brown sugar to soy sauce. Taste and trust your own taste buds, sweet but still salty. Then taste as you go through all ingredients and make to your liking!
  • I add all ingredients into a small saucepan and then heat over low to medium low heat til sugar dissolves and apricot preserves melt down. Then put in sealable container and store in fridge. Sauce will thicken a lot once cool. Great on fried wontons, add some heat with a chili pepper or 4 and use to coat fried (tempura or otherwise) chicken pieces for my version of General Tso's chicken, or just on nuggets or breasts, also great as a BBQ sauce for pork. I like it enough to just dip bread (or fingers) in! Very versatile!

Tips:

  • Use the right spices: The combination of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg is essential for that classic gingerbread flavor. Be sure to use fresh spices for the best flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender gingerbread.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough gingerbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the gingerbread in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the gingerbread cooks evenly.
  • Let the gingerbread cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Enjoy the gingerbread with your favorite toppings: Gingerbread can be topped with a variety of things, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Gingerbread is a classic holiday treat that is loved by people of all ages. With its warm spices and sweet, slightly tangy flavor, gingerbread is the perfect way to celebrate the season.
