Recipe Introduction


My family has always used this cake as our "official" Gingerbread recipe. It's wonderful served with whipped cream...and makes a BIG batch, as it's baked in a 9x13 pan.


List of Ingredients




1 cup molasses
½ cup sugar
½ cup shortening
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup boiling water

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan.

Cream together the sugar and shortening, blend in the molasses and the egg.

Combine the dry ingredients (flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger & nutmeg). Add to the molasses mixture. Blend well. Quickly stir in the boiling water, and pour into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350° for 35 minutes, or until cake tests done. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream.
