Mrs. Carter’s Soft Gingerbread - Oatlands

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup molasses
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp soda
1 tsp ginger
1 ½ tsp each cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg

Combine eggs, sugar, molasses and cream. Beat until well blended. Combine dry ingredients; add to egg mixture and beat until smooth.
Bake in 13 by 9 inch greased and floured pan at 325 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until done.

Our gingerbread caterer and gift shop associate, Linda Dudenhoefer, added a nice lemon glaze. She used 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 T. butter, a little cream and fresh lemon juice to taste and to achieve your desired consistency for the glaze.

Enjoy!
