Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan with the softened butter and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess.
Ca. 5 min.
Kokkens note: Properly preparing the pan prevents the moist gingerbread from sticking.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves until well combined.
Ca. 2 min.
3
In a separate small bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir the baking soda into the hot water until it is fully dissolved.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Dissolving the soda first ensures it's evenly distributed for a perfect rise.
4
Pour the molasses, melted butter, and lightly beaten eggs into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Ca. 2 min.
5
Add the hot water and baking soda mixture to the bowl.
Ca. 1 min.
6
Stir everything together with a spatula just until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: A few small lumps are okay; overmixing can make the cake tough.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use the spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Ca. 1 min.
8
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Ca. 30 min.
9
Place the pan on a wire rack and let the gingerbread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Ca. 15 min.
Kokkens note: This cake is delicious served warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
