Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Packed brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Crosby's Fancy Molasses
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the molasses until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the boiling water, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the orange marmalade until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning it out onto the rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
