Gingerbread

Gingerbread Recipe

1 cup sugar
1 cup dark Karo syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda dissolved in 1/8 cup water
2 eggs
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 cup boiling water (this will be a thin batter)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in large mixer, slowly add the boiling water last while mixing. Pour into greased and floured baking pan for easy removal (or spray with Pam). Bake uncovered about 30 minutes until done, or toothpick comes out clean. If cooking more than one at a time, may take an additional 15-20 minutes. When done, let cool. Sprinkle powdered confectioners sugar on top. Enjoy!

I have baked this in a coffee can before, for a different shape
