How to Make Old Fashioned Gingerbread With Molasses Whipped Cream
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars 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, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the boiling water – the batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the molasses whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and molasses, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the molasses whipped cream over the cooled gingerbread and serve.
