 | | Directions |
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Oil an 8 x 8 pan or dish.
- Heat butter and water just until butter melts. Stir in sugar and molasses. Add eggs, beating in thoroughly. If using fresh ginger, add it now.
- Mix together: masa harina or corn meal, salt, baking soda, allspice and ground ginger if using. Add to the molasses mixture, stirring just enough to combine. Pour into prepared pan and bake 30 - 35 minutes, or until cake just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Serve warm or room temperature. Delicious with ice cream, whipped cream, or a fruit sauce (apple, rhubarb, etc)
