Gingerbread Cake With Lemon Glaze - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl.
Stir sugar, molasses, oil, and egg into flour mixture until just combined.
Pour in boiling water and whisk until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 1 minute.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Tap pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
Pour lemon juice mixture over cake while cake is still hot. Spread the mixture around with a spatula to ensure even distribution. Let cake cool completely before serving.
