Old Fashioned Gingerbread
Recipe By : Wayne Boatwright rec.food.cooking 7-13-08
Batter:
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 each large egg -- beaten
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup boiling water

Lemon Glaze
2/3 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice -- freshly squeezed

Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil and flour a 9-inch glass baking dish. Set
aside.

Combine all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and blend well with
whisk.

Add beaten egg and molasses to dry ingredients and whisk or use rubber
spatula to blend together. Mixture should look like wet sand.

Add vegetable oil and boiling water to mixture and whisk together
until batter is smooth.

Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth evenly.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until surface is firm and toothpick comes out
clean when inserted in center.

Prepare Lemon Glaze by combining powdered sugar and lemon juice and
whisking until smooth. Pour glaze over hot cake and spread evenly
over surface. Glaze will soak into cake.

Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

Cut into 6-9 squares. Serve with whipped cream and a garnish of lemon
zest.
