Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square pan. In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, ginger, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cloves.

Melt the butter in the water in a small saucepan over medium heat, and stir mixture into the dry ingredients until smooth. Stir in molasses and egg.

Pour half the batter into prepared pan. With a spoon, drizzle half the chocolate over the batter. Pour remaining batter on top, and drizzle the remaining chocolate over the batter in a decorative pattern.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

      Cook's Notes

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave. A squeeze bottle is an easy way to drizzle chocolate over the cake batter.

                That little first grader I made this for in 2003 stands 6 foot 6 inches today.  He loved this gingerbread with a glass of milk.  Calcium is the single nutrient most likely to be missing from the  American diet.  Guess what!  I enjoyed it with a glass of milk too.  Super easy!  Super delicios!

                This is the first of many many recipes from Martha Stewart that was terrible.  I can not recommend this.  It tastes bad!

                I was so disappointed with this recipe. Neither my husband nor I could finish our slices...way too much molasses.
