How to Make Crazy Gingerbread With Lemon Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the oil, molasses, boiling water, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the gingerbread cool completely in the pan before adding the lemon sauce (recipe found separately).
