Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.

  • In a 9-inch square baking pan, place 1 3/4 cups of the mixture and press evenly along the bottom to form a crust.
  • Add pecans, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and cloves to crumb mixture and stir well.
  • Mix in buttermilk, molasses, pumpkin and egg.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: As with all baking recipes, it's important to have all your ingredients and equipment ready before you start. This will help ensure that your gingerbread turns out perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Freshly grated ginger will give your gingerbread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use ground ginger, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Gingerbread in a Preheated Oven: This will help ensure that the gingerbread bakes evenly.
  • Let the Gingerbread Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Make the Caramel Sauce Ahead of Time: The caramel sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

This gingerbread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. The combination of the spicy gingerbread and the sweet caramel sauce is irresistible.
