Ingredients

2 1/2 cups AP flour

1/2 cup butter, melted (for lower fat, use applesauce)

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup molasses

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 1/2 teaspoons ginger

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg

Icing

Betty Crocker pre-made sugar cookie frosting or

1 cup powdered sugar mixed with a few teaspoons of milk

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil and lightly flour your baking dish. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and all spices in a large bowl. Whisk or sift well to combine. Add butter, milk, molasses and egg. Whisk by hand or with an electric beater on low for 2 – 3 minutes, or until batter is almost smooth.

Pour batter in baking dish, but not more than 3/4 full. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Cool completely before icing. Either use pre-made icing, or a little milk mixed with powdered sugar. You can use a Ziploc baggy with the corner cut away as a pipping bag.
