Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups molasses
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups boiling water
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a heatproof bowl or measuring cup, stir together the granulated sugar and boiling water until the sugar dissolves.
Carefully pour the boiling water mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and firm to the touch.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pudding cake cool for about 10 minutes. As it cools, a warm, spiced pudding layer will form beneath the cake.
Serve the gingerbread pudding cake warm, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
