Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 c sugar
1 c butter
2 eggs
2/3 c molasses
3 c flour
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 c luke warm water
1 tsp baking soda
frosting:
6 Tbsp brown sugar
6 Tbsp sweet milk or canned milk
3 Tbsp butter
3 1/2-4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

1. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Beat until light and fluffy. Add molasses. Blend in.
2. Sift together flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and salt.
3. Add baking soda to water.
4. Add dry ingredients and water to egg mixture alternatively.
5. Bake at 350 degrees in a jelly roll pan for 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool cake before frosting.
6. To make frosting add brown sugar, milk and butter to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar to thicken. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frost the cake immediately while frosting is warm. Spread as you pour. Frosting sets fast and is hard to spread otherwise. I can not see why you can not frost while the cake is still warm. It might make it easier! Just a tip.

Tips for Making the Best Ginger Creams:

- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate the ginger finely before adding it to the mixture. - For a smoother cream, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before churning. - Don't over-churn the cream. Ginger creams are best when they are slightly soft-serve, so stop churning before the mixture is completely frozen. - Serve the cream immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Ginger creams are a delicious and refreshing treat that can be enjoyed all year round. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own delicious ginger cream at home. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique and memorable ginger creams.
