GINGER CAKE
(Corrected recipe )
4 ounces fresh ginger (weigh it when you buy it)
1 cup water
2 t. baking soda
1 Cup mild molasses
2/3 Cup honey
2/3 C. vegetable oil
2 1/2 C. flour (part whole-wheat if desired)4 ounces fresh ginger (weigh it when you buy it)
1 cup water
2 t. baking soda
1 Cup mild molasses
2/3 Cup honey
2/3 C. vegetable oil
1 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. ground cloves
1/2 ground black pepper
2 eggs
Trim off any bad places from ginger. Then blend with water in blender or food processor until very fine. If "strings" from the root remain, seive them off. Bring water mixture to a boil, add soda, stir and turn heat off. Add molasses, oil, and honey (I measure the oil first, then add the others in the same measuring container and they don't stick to the container so much.)
Measure dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Add liquids. Mix briefly. Add eggs, mixing until everything is thoroughly combined. Pour into oiled and floured (or parchment lined) baking dish (8" x 11" works well). Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Cool. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream/cool whip. Can add peaches, applesauce, or bananas as a garnish.
