Gingerbread Cake

Gingerbread Cake

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c butter

1 egg

1 c molasses

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 c flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 c very hot water

Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs and molasses, beat well.

Sift dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture.

Add hot water and beat until smooth (batter will be very thin).

Pour into a well-greased 9x13 baking dish.

Bake 350 for about 40 minutes or until cake tests done.

Serve with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

We had this tonight at our RS dinner and I quite enjoyed it.

Something different and definitely festive.

They served it with cool whip and caramel ice cream topping.

I'll bet a warm homemade sauce would be awesome too.

Yum!
