This gluten free Gingerbread Cake will be the beginning of a new tradition at holiday meals!  I was so impressed with this moist, richly flavoured cake.  

Sprinkle icing sugar on it or I topped it off with Betty Crocker white icing, into which I had stirred some finely chopped crystallized ginger.

The first thing I did was to finely chop some crystallized ginger and set it aside.

Then I dumped some margarine and lightly packed brown sugar into a large mixing bowl.

Using an electric hand mixer I beat them together until they were light and fluffy.

Next I poured some fancy molasses into the bowl.

I beat in the molasses until creamy.

Then I added 2 large eggs, and some lemon juice.

Beat in the eggs and lemon juice using the electric mixer.

Now I dumped in some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour, meringue powder, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, ginger and salt.

I used a large wooden spoon to stir the dry ingredients into the wet batter in the bowl.

After the ingredients were blended I mixed the baking soda into the boiling water and then poured the water into the batter.  I stirred quickly.

Next I dumped in half of the prepared crystallized ginger that I had set aside.

I stirred in the ginger before scraping the batter into a 9 x 13 inch pan that had been sprayed with cooking spray.

To bake I placed it in a 350F oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean and it was brown around the edges.

I allowed the cake to cool completely in the pan.  I chose to frost it with Betty Crocker White Frosting.

Before frosting I stirred the remaining finely chopped crystallized ginger into the frosting.

You could also cut it into squares without frosting and dust the pieces with icing sugar before serving.

This gluten free Gingerbread Cake with its moist texture and rich flavour was a hit in our family.  

I will be adding this recipe to our holiday menu for many years to come!
