Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of white sugar
- 1/2 cup of butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup of cooking molasses use fine molasses if you want a lighter sweeter cake
- 2 1/2 cups of flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1 cup of hot water
Microwave Salted Caramel Sauce
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 F.
- Cream your butter and sugar together. Then add in your egg and the molasses, whichever you chose to use.
- Whisk your dry ingredients together well in a separate bowl.
- Slowly blend them into the wet mixture, until just combined. The lowest setting on a mixer does a great job.
- When done, take the cup of hot water and add into the mix, combining it slowly until it looks more like cake batter.
- Divide the batter between three or four CorningWare Meal Mugs. Dividing into three mugs will have the raised top dome, four will have the cake lower down into the mug.
- Bake at 350 degrees until a a cake tester inserted comes out clean, around 35-40 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove and set aside.
- To make the salted caramel, combine the butter, sugar, and cream together in a large microwave safe bowl. Whisk until well blended.
- Microwave for 2 minutes and then stir. Microwave for another 1-2 more minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- To serve the gingerbread, poke holes in the top and then pour the warm salted caramel over the top.
