Ingredients
- Cake:
- 1 ½ cups of multipurpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
- ¾ teaspoon of ginger powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of softened unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup of tightly packed dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup of dark corn syrup
- ⅓ cup of molasses
- 1 egg
- ½ cup of hot water
- ¼ cup of finely chopped crystallized ginger
- Whipped Cream Topping:
- 1 cup of cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and preparing a 9-inch round or square pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup later on.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of flavors and leavening agents.
Step 3
Next, in a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter and brown sugar until the mixture turns light and fluffy, which should take roughly 3 to 4 minutes. Incorporate corn syrup, molasses, and an egg into this creamy mixture, beating until the consistency is smooth and uniform. Slowly pour in hot water while continuing to beat the mixture. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is well-blended and the batter is smooth. Gently fold in some crystallized ginger for an extra burst of flavor before pouring the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, typically around 30 to 35 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully running a knife along the edges and inverting it onto a wire rack. Cut the cake into wedges or squares for serving.
Step 5
For a delightful finishing touch, whip heavy cream and maple syrup together in a bowl until stiff peaks form. Present this luscious whipped cream topping alongside the cake, adding a touch of sweetness and creaminess to each bite.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your spiced gingerbread in an airtight container to preserve its fresh-baked aroma and flavors.
- 2. Store leftover gingerbread in the fridge for a chewy texture or freeze for a longer shelf life.
- 3. To prevent the maple cream from becoming too runny, store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
