Plantation Gingerbread Recipe

Plantation Gingerbread

From chefmeow 18 years ago

This is very tasty. Can be served as a cake or as a nice snack. I like it at breakfast time heated with butter on it. Yummy.

In mixing bowl cream butter and sugar then add eggs and beat on low speed for 2 minutes.
Gradually add molasses and hot water.
In another mixing bowl combine flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt then gradually add dry mixture to creamed mixture and beat on low for 1 minute.
Pour into greased rectangular baking pan and bake for 35 minutes.
Cool on wire rack.

What temp do you bake it at? Just noticed there is no oven temp and I'm ready to make it now (and need to!)

note 2 hours later: Just made it & baked @ 350. ended up baking about 41 minutes and the center looks slightly unset but not concerned. made a 2nd batch and ran out of molasses(!). used 3/4 c. dark brown sugar instead and upped the spices. still turned out, but lighter in color and not quite as flavorful. nice to find a recipe that i had everything on hand for! thanks! very tasty!
