Ingredients
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
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round or square pan and line bottom with parchment paper.
-
Whisk flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Whip heavy cream and maple syrup together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Serve whipped cream topping with cake.
