01 Step
Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to ensure easy release. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of spices and leavening agents. Set aside. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender crumb. Beat in the egg and molasses until well combined, creating a smooth and emulsified base. Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the boiling water. Begin and end with the flour mixture, and beat until just smooth. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing develops gluten and can result in a tough cake. (Mixing time: 10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should spring back lightly when touched. (Baking time: 30-35 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely. This prevents the cake from sticking and allows it to retain its moisture. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful aroma and taste of homemade gingerbread. (Cooling time: 10 minutes)
