Gingerbread Cake With Snow Sugar Recipes

Steps:

• Lightly butter a 9 by 13 by 2-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a piece of parchment or wax paper. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, molasses, and crystallized ginger. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
• In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, and cloves. Whisk the molasses mixture into the flour mixture until evenly combined.
• In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Whisk the hot water into the batter until just combined. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake in the center of the oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack. Cut into squares and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• For cake: Beat egg in mixing bowl until frothy. Beat in cooking oil and molasses.
• Add sugar, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and salt. Beat slowly to combine.
• Dissolve baking soda in boiling water and add to batter. Slowly mix in flour.
• Turn into greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan. Bake at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Serve warm with brown sugar sauce. (Freezes well).
• For sauce: Mix brown sugar, flour and salt together well in medium saucepan. (This enables water to be mixed in with no lumps).
• Stir in water and vanilla. Heat, stirring, over medium heat until sauce boils and thickens (makes about 2 1/2 cups). Serve warm.
