Irish Black Ginger Cake




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 C blackstrap molasses
2 1/2 C flour
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger (I also used 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated gingerroot)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup hot strong freshly brewed coffee


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter an 8-inch square of 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. In a large bowl, beat the egg into the molasses, then add to the butter mixture. Sift together the flour, spices, and salt, then fold into the butter mixture. Dissolve the baking soda in the hot coffee, then add it to the batter. Beat vigorously until well blended. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Yield: 1 single layer cake.
