Gingerbread Loaves recipe post Hi Jenn

[Guest guest]

If you can't find gr. cloes you call just up the allspice a little or a bit more cinnamon and ground ginger. It all works out fine. Enjoy! It's a bread for the autumn season. It's a perfect bread for the holiday season. Very yummy! DonnaJennifer <jj_73molly wrote:

2 eggs

1 cup molasses

1/2 cup boiling water

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 3/4 cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

4 tsp. ginger

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. allspice

1 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. salt

 

Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease two 8X4 loaf pans.

In large bowl combine brown sugar and butter, beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.

In a small bowl combine molasses,boiled water and baking soda, mix well. Beat into brown sugar mixture.

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, allspice and salt. Mix well. Gradually add the dry mixture to wet mixture until well blended.

Spoon batter into greased pans and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. Or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven. Let sit 15 mins. Remove from pans and cool on wire rack.
