Another find in the TOH magazine. Love that it is a full flavored cake that needs only a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to finish. Serve this cake warm for best results! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 cup molasses |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 1/4 teaspoons ginger |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup water |
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed |
1 1/2 cups water (this is additional) |
1/4 cup butter, cubed (this is additional) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well; then beat in molasses.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, spices and salt in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the 1 cup of water, beating well after each addition.
3. Transfer batter to a 9x13 UNgreased baking pan. Sprinkle batter with brown sugar.
4. In a microwave, heat 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 c butter, until butter is melted. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter in the pan.
5. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
6. Serve WARM. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
