How to Make Cajun Gingerbread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup molasses, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of boiling water while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
