Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 cups plantains, half-ripe (sliced)
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
1 cup molasses
2/3 cup boiling water
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the sugar and water in a sauce pan over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Peel plantain and add to the boiling sugar syrup. Add the plantain and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove the plantain and drain. Butter a 9-inch square cake pan heavily. Spread the plantain slices evenly over the bottom.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  • Place the butter and molasses in a sauce pan over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Combine this heated mixture and the boiling water and stir. Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, stirring, and then beat vigorously. Pour the batter over the sliced plantain. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 50 minutes, or until the cake tests done. Let the pan stand for 5 minutes on a rack, then loosen with a spatula and turn the cake upside down on a serving plate. Cut into squares. The cake is topped with shipped cream. Serve warm or cooled.

This gingerbread is a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor is good.

This gingerbread is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it a few days ahead of time and it was still delicious.
