A Delicious Gingerbread Recipe for the Holidays

Every year the company I work for hosts a Thanksgiving feast for the employees. The company provides the meat, stuffing, cranberry sauce and rolls and employees are asked to bring a side or a dessert. This year was my second time experiencing the Thanksgiving feast. The first year I didn't make anything because I had just started working the week before and my living situation didn't provide time to bake or cook. Since I'm settled into my own place, I decided to bake a dessert. My pick was gingerbread which is a recipe I hadn't made in years. I couldn't find my grandfather's recipe so the one I ended up using was taken from the 2006 edition of the Better Homes and Garden Cook Book: 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup mild-flavored molasses
1/2 cup

1. Preheat oven to 350 decrees F
2. Grease a 9 x 1 1/2 inch round cake pan (I used another type of baking dish)
3. In a medium bowl stir together flower, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and baking soda; set aside
4. In a large mixing bowl beat the shorting with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds (I think I ended up doing it for more since I didn't keep track of time). Add brown sugar; beat until well combined. Add egg and molasses; beat for 1 minute more. Alternately add flower mixture and water to shortening mixture, beating on low speed after each addition is combined. Spread batter into the prepared pan

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean
6. Cool in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes. Serve warm

The gingerbread came out tasting delicious, so I would use this recipe again for another holiday party.
