Chocolate Gingerbread
1-3/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour
2-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup boiling water
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
1 cup heavy cream for whipping
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom
and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan. Dust with
flour and tap out the excess.
In a medium bowl, use a wire whisk to stir together
the flour, ginger, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice,
baking soda and salt.
Put the cocoa powder in a small bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup
boiling water and whisk until smooth.
In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until
the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at
a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the
molasses, then the cocoa mixture. Reduce the speed and
mix in half the flour mixture until just
well-combined. Beat in the remaining 1/3 cup boiling
water, then the remaining flour mixture. Do not
overbeat.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 to
45 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted
in the center of the cake comes out dry and clean.
Set the gingerbread on a wire rack to cool slightly.
If desired, serve with whipped cream. In a chilled
bowl using a hand-held mixer or a wire whisk, beat the
cream and sugar (optional) until the mixture forms
soft peaks. Do not overbeat.
Cut the gingerbread into squares and serve warm, with
a dollop of the whipped cream.
