Good Housekeeping


List of Ingredients




1 box (16 ounces) dark brown sugar (2 1/4 cups packed)
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground clovers
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup dark seedless raisins or 3/4 cup diced mixed candied fruit
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 13" by 9" metal baking pan. Line pan with foil; grease foil.

2. In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat brown sugar and eggs until well mixed, about 1 minute, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and cloves until blended, occasionally scraping bowl. Stir in walnuts and raisins.

3. Spoon mixture into pan and spread evenly. Bake 30 minutes. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

4. In medium bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle sugar icing over Lebkuchen. Let stand 10 minutes to allow icing to set. Transfer with foil to cutting board. Cut lengthwise into 8 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 bars. Store bars in tightly covered container, with waxed paper between layers, at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or in freezer up to 3 months.
