  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups dark-brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ pound plus 4 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons dark molasses
  • 4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  • 2 eggs

  • How To Cook:
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Using a pastry brush, coat the bottom and sides of a 7-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish or cake pan with 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Set aside.

    2. Sift the flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together into a large bowl. In a heavy 2- to 3-quart saucepan combine the ¼ pound plus 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, the molasses and the corn syrup, and bring to a simmer over low heat.

    3. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts. Then pour it over the flour mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a large spoon. When the batter is smooth, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

    4. Pour the batter into the buttered dish, and bake in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and serve at room temperature.
