Viewed: 23 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 2 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour (or All-Purpose Flour)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon clove
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup crystallized ginger, diced (optional)
Method
- Grease and flour a 9" square pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
- Melt the butter in a heatproof measuring cup. Add the molasses to the cup, and pour into the dry ingredients in the bowl, mixing to moisten.
- Add the water, stirring until everything is moistened. Whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Stir into the batter until it's evenly combined. Stir in the crystallized ginger.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cake just begins to pull away from the edge of the pan.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes before slicing; gingerbread is best served warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
