How to Make Gingerbread With Lemon Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the gingerbread cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the lemon sauce: Whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Pour the lemon sauce over the cooled gingerbread and serve.
