How to Make Whole Grain Gingerbread Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup molasses, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm with your favorite topping – vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or warm applesauce are all delicious choices!
