Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Pour in the molasses and mix on low speed until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the hot water. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the gingerbread comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the gingerbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
