Instructions
Make the Gingerbread:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish or pan with cooking spray or grease it well with butter.
- Beat the margarine or butter at medium speed until fluffy.
- Gradually add the sugar, beating well.
- Add molasses and egg and beat well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves.
- Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan or dish.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.
For the Lemon Glaze:
- While the gingerbread cools slightly, make the glaze.
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until warm.
- Slowly pour over the top of the warm gingerbread.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can offer the lemon glaze on the side rather than pouring it over the gingerbread.
- Gingerbread may be made up to 5 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It should keep for about a week.
- This recipe is for a soft, old-fashioned gingerbread cake, not to be confused with gingerbread cookies.
