Tis the season! I it upon us, and I have mixed feelings. Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday ever. It has all the festive feel of "The Holidays", but without the pressure of gifts, and such! I think we should have Thanksgiving and then Thanksgiving again in Dec. Who's with me on this? Maybe we should write a letter to the President or the Prophet or something. I don't need anything or want for anything. I just want to be grateful for my Savior, and think about his birth and look at twinkly lights. AND eat Gingerbread!
So enjoy a slice of the Holiday Season or Thanksgiving #2. You're house will smell amazing, and it will put you in the holiday mood.
Cream butter and sugar well, about 3-4 minutes in an electric mixer. Add eggs and molasses. Beat well. Sift dry ingredients together in a separate and add to creamed mixture. Add hot water and beat until smooth. Pour into a greased and floured Bundt pan. Bake 50-65 minutes minutes at 350. You can serve it with fresh whipped cream, sliced bananas, powdered sugar, or just plain.
I like it with whipped cream and Buttermilk Syrup.
I LOVE your blog! Wondering with this recipe if you sift the flour before or after you measure... thanks tonz! I can't wait to make this gingerbread!
I love gingerbread and I love things cooked in Bundt pans so I am going to try this out tomorrow. Your photos are absolutely stunning. Please tell me a recipe book is coming out soon. . . ?
Okay Lisa, as I was looking at your blog as I do frequently (because I love you, your food, your recipes, your stories etc.) Doug who was sitting at the neighboring computer looked over and said, "Oh, Jen you've got to make that for me tomorrow!" Soooo, on this rainy, cloudy, chilly tuesday (because I love Doug so much and know this will make his whole day) I am going to make this gingerbread. It's going to make my day as well since I love gingerbread, buttermilk syrup, cream and bananas. You are the BEST!! Thanks for always sharing!
Had to report... I finally had a chance to make this cake. Divine! I agree with Emily... I hope there will be a recipe book soon!
