With my son's birthday bee-ing in December, I wanted to do a holiday birthday cake for him. This Honey Gingerbread fits the bill perfectly!
-
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
-
1 and 1/2 cups honey, divided
-
1 egg
-
2 1/2 cups flour
-
2 tsp ground ginger
-
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
3/4 cup boiling water
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350. Grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pans.
-
Cream together butter and 1/2 cup honey. Mix in egg.
-
In a separate bowl, blend flour, ginger, baking soda, and cinnamon.
-
In a third bowl, blend remaining honey with boiling water.
-
Use mixer to blend creamed honey and 1/3 dry ingredients, then 1/3 wet ingredients, alternating until all dry and wet ingredients are added.

Turn into pans, bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 40-50 minutes.
