Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 4 baker's dark chocolate squares, in small pieces

Directions:

  1. Optional: Place Baker's chocolate at room temperature several hours in advance to make the chopping easier.
  2. Preheat oven to 300.
  3. Put butter, sugar and molasses into a medium pot and stir over low heat until butter has melted. Chop chocolate into small pieces (not too small - spare yourself the trouble as they melt anyhow) while watching the pot. Turn off heat once butter has melted and ingredients in pot have blended.
  4. Add flour, spices and baking soda to pot, and stir well.
  5. Add milk, egg and chocolate and stir until smooth.
  6. Pour into greased 9 inch square glass pan.
  7. Bake 50/55 minutes, until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Enjoy with fresh whipped cream!
