Wyatt Lawrence's Black Ginger Cake - From the Wilds of Mascarene Rd., St. George, NB


This cake is moist and dense with a strong hit of ginger. It is really easy to make!
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/2 sugar
1 cup molasses
2/3 cup strong coffee
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups flour
1/1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup fresh grated ginger
Combine oil, egg, molasses, coffee and sugar.
Then dry ingredients starting with the smallest. Bake in an 8' greased and floured round or square pan at 350 degrees for 30 min. Top with melted chocolate diluted with a little milk or with whipped cream.

Wyatt is a wooden boat builder and part time lobster fisher. He is a mighty fine cooker of chowder and does NOT advocate the use of chocolate on top of this cake….!
