Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ⅓ cup dark brown sugar, packed

  • ⅓ cup dark corn syrup

  • ⅓ cup molasses

  • 1 egg

  • ½ cup hot water

  • ¼ cup chopped crystallized ginger

Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round or square pan and line bottom with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

  3. Beat butter and brown sugar together in another large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn syrup, molasses, and egg; beat until smooth. Pour in hot water slowly while continuing to beat. Add flour mixture gradually, mixing until batter is well-blended and smooth. Stir in crystallized ginger. Pour batter into the pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan, about 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and carefully invert onto a wire rack. Cut into wedges or squares.

  5. Whip heavy cream and maple syrup together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Serve whipped cream topping with cake.
