Gingerbread Cake

My son told me this was much better than my other Gingerbread recipes. It makes a full 9" x 9" cake.

Cream together:
1 egg
1 cup sorghum-This is molasses.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or lard

Add:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon
then add:
1 cup hot water into which 2 tsp. baking soda has been dissolved.



Pour into prepared (spray with PAM or grease and flour) 9” x 9” pan.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.



Top with whipped cream and walnuts.
