Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter or margarine
  • 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 1 egg, well beaten
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup hot water
      • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

      2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and molasses, mixing well.
      3. Combine dry ingredients and add to butter mixture; add hot water and stir until smooth.
      4. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
      5. Let cool in pan before turning out.
