Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Light molasses
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light molasses. Let this mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. This step ensures even distribution of the spices and leavening agent.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, sugar, and molasses mixture into the flour mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Pour this wet mixture into the batter, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix, as it may affect the texture of the gingerbread.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla icing for added indulgence.
