Ingredients

Makes: 8 Servings

Instructions

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Brush an 8″ or a 9″ square baking pan with a little soft butter.
  • In a small bowl, stir the baking soda into the boiling water until the soda is dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • Place the molasses and eggs in a large bowl, and stir with a wooden spoon to combine and break up the egg yolks.
  • Add the ½ cup butter, sugar, flour, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice, and stir well until the mixture is smooth, 40 strokes.
  • Stir the baking soda and water mixture into the batter until it is smooth, 1 minute.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and place the pan in the oven.
  • Bake until the gingerbread rises and the top springs back when lightly pressed with a finger, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven.
  • Let the gingerbread rest in the pan for 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm with a pour of cream.
