CRAZY GINGERBREAD (WITH LEMON SAUCE)



Crazy Gingerbread (With Lemon Sauce) image

This is one of my mom's old favorites, and I've made it many times too. It's similar to "Crazy Cake" which is chocolate but follows the same procedure. These recipes were popular in the 70's (in my neighborhood, anyway!). (I'm posting the Lemon Sauce recipe separately to keep those ingredients separate from the cake ingredients.)

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 1 cake, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour, plus
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon vinegar
6 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup molasses
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375º.
  • In an ungreased 8x8 inch pan, stir together all dry ingredients.
  • With a spoon, make three "wells" in the dry ingredients. In one "well" put the vinegar, in another the oil, and in the third the vanilla.
  • Mix the water and molasses in a separate bowl. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix quickly with a fork. Mix until lumps are gone, but do not beat.
  • Bake at 375º for about 30 minutes.
  • Cut and serve from baking pan, with lemon sauce, applesauce, or whipped cream.
  • See my recipe for "Lemon Sauce" at this site. The contrasting lemon flavor and moistness added by the sauce is what adds the finishing touch to this cake, making it suitable for a company dessert!

GINGERBREAD WITH WARM LEMON SAUCE



Gingerbread with Warm Lemon Sauce image

The first time I ever ate gingerbread with lemon sauce was in a local restaurant in my town called "The Gingerbread Man". They served the lemon sauce warmed, and it was to die for! I finally found out how it's done. And here it is:

Provided by Robyn Bruce

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c light brown sugar
1 c green label molasses
3 c flour
1 1/2 c cold brewed black coffee
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda dissolved in the black coffee
1/2 c crisco or butter, softened
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare a square baking pan. Spray with cooking spray and flour it just a bit. Mix sugar, Crisco (or butter) and molasses together. In a separate bowl, mix flour and spices together. Then mix all together and blend in the black coffee which has baking soda in it. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, and bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
  • 2. Lemon Sauce 1 cup sugar 4 tablespoons cornstarch ½ cup lemon juice In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir well. Gradually whisk or stir in the lemon juice and add 2-1/2 cups water. Over medium heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat when boiling, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and clear..... about 2-3 minutes or so. Remove from heat, and serve warm (best) or cold, if you prefer, over the gingerbread. (If you desire, you can grate about 1 teaspoon of lemon rind and stir into sauce for a little extra zing!)

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 dash salt
1/2 cup water
