Description

This Gingerbread Pudding Cake is a comforting classic that requires no special equipment, just a simple baking pan and pantry staples. The magic happens when hot water and melted butter are poured over the raw batter; as it bakes, the liquid sinks to the bottom to create a warm, syrupy sauce while the top rises into a tender, spice-laden cake. Infused with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, it offers a deep, earthy sweetness that is perfect for chilly evenings or holiday gatherings. Serve it warm directly from the pan for the best experience, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla or pumpkin ice cream to contrast the heat.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together at medium speed until creamy and light, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add the egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
  5. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry flour mixture alternately with the molasses and 1 cup of water, beating well after each addition until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the 1 1/2 cups of hot water and the melted butter.
  9. Carefully pour the hot butter-water mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. Do not stir.
  10. Bake for 40 to 55 minutes, or until the top is cracked and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of ice cream.
