    Gingerbread cake addicts, rejoice - this recipe makes the right size gingerbread cake for a crowd! Lightly moist and lightly sweet, this version I developed over time is a good fit for a holiday dessert or treat for company. I like just a dusting of powdered sugar rather than a frosting. It’s my gingerbread cake FAV - hope you’ll try it for yourself.

    Ingredients

    • 2 1/4 cups flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
    • 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 2 beaten eggs
    • 3/4 cup molasses
    • 2/3 cup boiling water
    • Optional: powdered sugar or whipped cream topping

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with vegetable spray and dust with flour; set aside.
    2. In medium size bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
    3. In large bowl beat softened butter together with brown sugar til smooth; mix in beaten eggs and molasses.
    4. Stir in the flour mixture, add boiling water and beat 1-2 minutes until well blended. Pour into prepared pan and bake 35-40 minutes.
    5. Cool on wire rack before cutting.
    6. Optional: sift powdered sugar over top or garnish with a dollop of whipped cream
    7. Yield: 24 2-inch square size (or 18 2" x 3" size servings.)
