Recipe Introduction
Hey all,
This is a recipe that is not totally NT but could serve as a
compromise recipe or be converted pretty easily. It has an interesting
technique of beating the molasses with an electric beater that makes
the final cake very moist and fluffy.
1/2 cup molasses (light, not blackstrap... though maybe you might like
that... hehe)
1/2 cup honey
6tbs butter, melted
3tbs grated ginger (I used less, but enough to make it gingery)
3/4 cup firm yogurt (I used sour cream and half and half)
1 egg
2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp cinnamon (I used a whole tsp)
1/2 tsp ground cloves or allspice (I had neither)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (I used 1/2 tsp)
Beat molasses and honey with an electric blender for two or three
minutes. Add melted butter and ginger (Mollie has you saute ginger in
the butter first, I didn't) and beat another minute. Add yogurt and
beat another minute. (I added spices here... the resulting batter
could have been eaten with a spoon or put on your ice cream or...
yeah, it was sooo good) Add egg and beat another minute. Combine dry
ingredients together, add to batter and mix to combine. Spread batter
in a greased 8x8 pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool before
cutting (hah!).
I think you should all try this, and you should all buy Mollie Katzens
books Moosewood Cookbook, Still Life with Menu and Enchanted Broccoli
Forest :)
