Old Fashioned Gingerbread image

This is an easy and delicious dessert! I found the original recipe on a cooking site but changed it to suit my own taste and to make it lower in fat. I also decided to create a spiced drizzle for a topping! This all worked perfectly! This has become one of my favorite desserts because I love the flavor of gingerbread! The photo...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 c dark brown sugar
1/4 c corn oil
1/4 c applesauce
1 c molasses - mild
1 large egg
2 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon powder
2 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp ground cloves
1 c hot water
~~~SPICED DRIZZLE RECIPE~~~
1/3 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp 100% pure maple syrup
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp ground cloves
MIX ALL THE DRIZZLE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL.
THEN DRIZZLE ON COLD CAKES OR COOKIES.
THE DRIZZLE WILL HARDEN AS IT DRIES.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Greased and flour one 9 inch square pan.
  • 2. Cream together the brown sugar, oil and applesauce. Add egg, and beat well. Mix in the molasses.
  • 3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and clove. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; add the hot water, and mix well.
  • 4. Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes. Allow to cool in pan and serve cold. This tastes much better cold than warm. If you tastes this while its warm the gingerbread flavor is just too intense!
  • 5. ***Optional - Top with the spiced drizzle when the gingerbread is completely cooled.
