This is just the kind of gingerbread you crave when dinnertime has suddenly become pitch-black and cold, as it now has, and you feel like it’s midnight all the time and like you’re up in Scotland drinking whiskey from the bottle and waiting for spring. It’s big, soft, and comforting, like the down comforter of the cake world, and it fills your house with the spicy, delicious smell of holiday baking, even on a regular old school night. Plus, it will take you no more than 10 minutes to get it into the oven, promise. Or, as we say to the kids when we are quite sure about something but don’t want to get into it later, if there is, say, a surprise hurricane or earthquake, I almost promise. The recipe is hand-written in my recipe binder, and when I was trying to figure out how properly to credit it, I naturally consulted my mother. “Is this your gingerbread?” I asked, and she said, “Oh, is it this?” and pulled out a recipe card titled “Mummy’s Gingerbread” that calls for, among other things, treacle, and the mystifying measurements ½ egg and also 1 gill milk. “I don’t think it’s that,” I said, “seeing as how my gill has been, er, missing since the middle of the nineteenth century.” Hmm. “Is it this?” And strangely, there it was—an ancient clipping from the Times, called “Edna’s Blueberry Gingerbread.” I have never in my life added blueberries (I didn’t even write that part when I copied the recipe), but I suppose you could. But then it would go from a big, comforting cake to a more challenging cake studded with hot, puckery berries, which is not what I’m going for at all. Still, if you want to try adding “1 cup blueberries, lightly floured,” be my guest. I was going to make a note here about how this is a great way to get more iron into your diet, what with the legendary iron-containing properties of molasses, but when I looked at my molasses bottle, I noticed that, to achieve your daily requirement, you’d need to swallow 25 tablespoons of it. If you’re anemic, try eating the whole pan of gingerbread all by yourself, and let me know if you feel a burst of energy afterwards (I’m being ironic. Ha ha.). But I will tell you that Ben and I were talking over dinner about how your body actually needs small quantities of various metals, which surprised and delighted him. “Wow,” he said. “If I died and you melted me down, would there be enough copper in me to make even, like, a tiny, tiny dollhouse spoon?” Kill me. Soft and Sticky Gingerbread I like to grate the nutmeg fresh—not because I’m fancy or because I think it makes such a big difference flavorwise, but because it’s such a pleasant thing to do, and it’s a little job I can give the kids. If you’ve never tried this, do: it involves buying whole nutmegs and a tiny grater, and it’s a small and worthwhile investment. ½ cup sugar ½ cup room-temperature butter 2 eggs 1 cup molasses 2 cups flour (I used half spelt) ½ teaspoon salt (I use one scant teaspoon of Kosher salt) ¼ teaspoon cloves ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon ginger 1 cup boiling water 2 teaspoons baking soda Heat the oven to 350, and butter and flour a lasagna-sized (10 by 14 inch) baking pan. Now, in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the molasses. Take a moment to stop the mixer and scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure there’s no butter hiding out down there. Meanwhile, sift together the flour, spices, and salt (and by “sift together” I mean, of course, whisk together, because I’m lazy like that), then mix them into the batter until they just disappear. Now measure the boiling water (I do this right in the dirty molasses cup), add the baking soda to it, call your kids over to see the amazingly foaming mixture, explain the science of it (each crystal of baking soda actually contains a tiny, burping angel), and beat it gently into the batter, which will now seem incredibly runny, which is fine. Pour it into your prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until the cake is starting to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs on it, rather than ooky batter still. Serve with whipped cream, if you have company, or plain. Yum.
This year, New Yorkers will once again get to experience “home, sweet home” during the holidays. Madison Square Park is bringing back its family-favorite Gingerbread Boulevard, a two-week event featuring a walk-through of life-size gingerbread houses. Attendees can walk inside the houses constructed from ginger bricks and decorated with frosting, peppermint sticks and gum drops, while they sip on hot chocolate to escape the cold. It seems that no one can turn down a giant-sized gingerbread neighborhood — organizers expect the event to draw at least 350,000 visitors throughout the holiday season. The gingerbread artists at Leckerlee couldn’t help but wonder: When, and where, did the creation of gingerbread houses begin? Nuremberg: Building the Foundation Gingerbread, as we know it today, originated from Medieval European cooking. Nuremberg, Germany (the birthplace of lebkuchen) was recognized as the “Gingerbread Capital of the world” by the 1600s as Medieval bakers turned gingerbread into a craft by shaping the treat into elaborate designs. It became such an elegant art that European royalty prohibited anyone from making gingerbread except specially trained guild members — except during Christmas and Easter, sparking the holiday tradition. While gingerbread continued to be a favorite decorated treat throughout Europe, it wasn’t until the 1800s that gingerbread houses were introduced out of the famous fairytale, Hansel and Gretel (see our updated version of our Hansel & Gretel Tin!). The tradition of candy-coated Lebkuchenhaus, the German term for a gingerbread house, eventually made its way to America with the Pennsylvania German immigrants. Going Life-Size As the gingerbread tradition grew in popularity over the years, many renditions have emerged over the years. The National Gingerbread House Competition in Asheville, NC, showcases some of the most original gingerbread designs from across the nation every year. The “houses” must be 100% edible and 75% gingerbread, but that doesn’t stop artists from whipping up designs like: A nativity scene with three Wise Men The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” album cover rendition Seuss’s “Whoville,” complete with the Grinch Artists also like to go big: in 2013, a group in Bryan, Texas, set the record for the world’s largest gingerbread house. The 21-foot-high masterpiece spanned the size of a tennis court and required 1,080 ounces of ground ginger to complete — not to mention 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds of flour, and 2,925 pounds of brown sugar. Not sure if you’re ready to take on a life-size gingerbread house? Skip the haus-work and get your fix of gingerbread at Leckerlee.

Old-fashioned gingerbread is a Christmas classic. This moist cake has a delicious ginger molasses flavor with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon. It tastes warm and cozy, and is delicious served warm with butterscotch sauce and whipped cream.
Of all the gingerbread cookie recipes I've tried, this is definitely the best. We've heard that phrase a lot lately: "this is the best recipe." But honestly, I tell you that after many years trying different recipes, this is the one I liked the most. And it is that its flavor is very very good, but its texture is even better, both for making cookies to decorate and for building a gingerbread house, because it maintains its shape and is firm enough to support the whole house. I hope you have a lot of fun doing it.
Fun to bake, delicious to eat, a great homemade gift, and a festive addition to your holiday cookie box!
