directions
- Preheat oven to 375º.
- In an ungreased 8x8 inch pan, stir together all dry ingredients.
- With a spoon, make three "wells" in the dry ingredients. In one "well" put the vinegar, in another the oil, and in the third the vanilla.
- Mix the water and molasses in a separate bowl. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix quickly with a fork. Mix until lumps are gone, but do not beat.
- Bake at 375º for about 30 minutes.
- Cut and serve from baking pan, with lemon sauce, applesauce, or whipped cream.
- See my recipe for "Lemon Sauce" at this site. The contrasting lemon flavor and moistness added by the sauce is what adds the finishing touch to this cake, making it suitable for a company dessert!

T.T. Thank you so very much!!! This was the easiest and nicest walk down memory lane! This was as good as Mum's and easier than I remember it. The lemon sauce was great too... what is gingerbread without the lemon sauce. It's too late to get Mum's recipe (God rest her soul) but this tasted so good and brought me back to age 6 also. No changes on the recipe. It was perfect and so moist with the lemon sauce!

<p>I've been baking since I was six years old...but I rarely go beyond the basics. I love recipes that are easy, predictable, and delicious! When I'm tired or a bit down, baking relaxes me and cheers me up. Since I'm maintaining a substantial weight loss (or trying to, anyway!), I can't put too many temptations before myself, so I try to do it when there are people around to enjoy the results. I love baking people happy!</p>
