Tender, moist, and filled with those wonderful aromatic gingerbread spices - I know you're gonna love it!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk alternative
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cooking molasses
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups GFC Cake & Pastry Flour Blend or GFC Cup4Cup Style Flour Blend
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Melt butter, and set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, molasses, sugar, vanilla, and ginger. Whisk in the cooled butter, mix well to combine.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and allspice. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined and there are no longer any dry streaks of flour.
- Pour the batter into an 8" greased and parchment lined pan and bake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack and cooling completely.
Notes
*if butter solidifies when added to mixture don't worry, it will be blended into small enough pieces that when it bakes it will be fine.
