How To Make favorite gingerbread loaf & gingerbread topping
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Spray 2 - 9 inch glass loaf pans with Bakers Joy or grease and flour. I never used anything but glass with this particular cake, my Gram never said why not to use metal. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and spices. Set aside.
-
Step 2In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil and molasses until smooth.
-
Step 3Alternating flour with buttermilk, combine the flour mixture into the molasses mixture.
-
Step 4Blend well and pour into prepared dishes. Bake for 55 minutes, not opening door as they bake, can make them fall. Test with a pick in center of cake to see if done.
-
Step 5I make a gingerbread topping to serve along side of this yummy cake. Can just sprinkle with powdered sugar or glaze if you prefer.
-
Step 6Here is the topping: In a bowl, whisk milk, pudding mix and spices for 2 minutes or until thickened. Fold in whipped topping. Keep refrigerated between uses. Delish!
