Gingerbread

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 0.5 tsp cloves
• 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp baking powder
• pinch or two of table salt
• 6 Tbsp of unsalted butter, melted
• 6 Tbsp of molasses
• 0.5 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 egg at room temperature

Frosting is 4 Tbsp melted butter, 1 cup or so of confectioner’s sugar, and maybe a little vanilla if you’d like.

Whisk together dry ingredients. Mix all liquid ingredients together with dark brown sugar until emulsified. Stir together well. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool, then frost and serve.
