The Ultimate Gingerbread Recipe

	Eyecook / All my dishes 1 year ago This is possibly the best thing I've ever baked. This moist, sweet gingery cake is simply amazing. I adapted the recipe from the side of a box - not something I'd normally try - but it sounded so tempting I just had to try it. It's supposed to serve ... More Prep:5m Cook:35m Servings:8	Eyecook

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 t ground ginger - taste your ginger first - if it is very hot - reduce to 1 t

1 t cinnamon

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs, well beaten

3 T. molasses

1 t baking soda

1 box - (4 oz) and this is crucial to your success - Ginger People organic crystalized ginger, chopped fine or coarse - your preference - this ginger is moist and chewy not dried out and hard. It comes in little cubes and is divine - I believe the ginger they use is baby ginger - the young stuff that has not had a chance to get stringy at all - any good health food store should have it

1 t salt

1 cup milk

2 T lemon juice

garnish - which it really doesn't need unless you're getting all fancy

1 cup whipping cream

1 T vanilla sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and ground ginger together , cut in butter.

Set aside 1/4 cup of the crumble mixture for topping.

Add beaten eggs to the rest of the mixture. Set aside 2 T of the chopped ginger for garnish and put the remainder into the mixture along with the molasses.

In a cup stir together the milk and the salt. Add the lemon juice and stir. Let sit a minute the dissolve the baking soda in the milk and quickly add to the flour mixture.

Mix well until a very nice batter consistency emerges. Pour into greased 9" pan. I grease mine with ghee instead of butter to prevent burning.

Sprinkle with reserved topping and if you will not be using the garnish of whipping cream - also the reserved ginger. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes till wooden skewer comes out relatively clean.

Serve warm with whipped cream or just scarf down plain.

I highly recommend serving it with plain steamed milk, a latte or a chai latte.

As this cake bakes your kitchen will fill with a constantly changing aroma - buttery, cinnamon, ginger - I was amazed how many different scents wafted up from this relatively simple cake.
