Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Hot water
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 0 Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, grated fresh ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined and a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small pitcher or bowl, mix the hot water and molasses together until well combined.

Step 7

Gently pour the molasses mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir—the liquid will sink and form a rich sauce at the bottom as the pudding bakes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is set and springs back when lightly touched.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. The pudding will have a self-saucing layer at the bottom.

Step 10

Serve warm, spooned into bowls, and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence, if desired.
