GINGERBREAD WITH LEMON SAUCE



Gingerbread with Lemon Sauce image

This was my favorite dessert when I was a little girl. I can remember clearly the smell of the gingerbread cooking in the oven--even now the smell bring goose bumps. Having two brothers I had to compete vigorously for my share of seconds. If I lost, my mother would always give me her piece when the the boys weren't looking. I don't have it any longer, but I remember finding this recipe many years later on a little scrap of paper in the pages of my mother's favorite cookbook.

MOM'S GINGERBREAD WITH LEMON SAUCE



Mom's Gingerbread With Lemon Sauce image

This is a nice spicy dark gingerbread cake that's kind of dense, but tender. It makes a full, tall cake in an 8" or 9" pan; if you want thinner cake, use a 9" X 13" pan and bake it for less time. I usually serve it right out of my Corningware baking pan, but if you wish to turn it out onto a serving plate, line the bottom of the pan with parchment. I like to use whole wheat flour, and since it is normally moist and dense, it seems exactly the same as all purpose flour. I also switched out butter for the shortening originally called for.
