Yield Makes 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup molasses (not blackstrap)
2/3 cup hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, spices, and salt into a bowl.
  • Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at moderately high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in molasses. (Batter may look separated.) Mix in flour mixture at low speed, then water, mixing until batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Pour batter into a buttered 9-inch square metal baking pan (2 inches deep). Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack, about 20 minutes, then serve warm.

I made this gingerbread recipe in a bundt pan and it turned out beautifully. The gingerbread was evenly cooked and the glaze dripped down the sides of the bundt pan, creating a delicious crust.

I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free flour to make this gingerbread recipe. It turned out great! The gingerbread was still moist and flavorful, even without the gluten.
