This is a delicious recipe my Mom always made. I
don't know where it originated but I do know it's over 60 years old. She always
served it warm and sometimes instead of topping we just let butter melt on it. I
can still smell it!
Gingerbread and Orange Sauce
1/2 cup lard ( I use margarine)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses (you can use sorghum for a lighter taste, but mom always used Molasses)
2 1/2 cups flour ( sift w/spices &
soda)
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. powdered cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 cup hot water
Cream lard & sugar, beat in egg. Stir in
molasses. Add dry alternately with hot water. Pour in buttered 9" square pan and
bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until knife tests clean. For sauce, cream 3
oz. cream cheese with 1/3 cup powdered sugar. Add a little orange juice
concentrate (undiluted) until consistency to pour. Put spoonful on top of each
square of cake as you serve it.
