Great Grandma Redfield was born 1820 in Plainfield NH. I have never seen another gingerbread recipe like hers and the intense ginger flavor and crusty top with whipped cream on it is wonderful!!

Yield: 8 servings

• 1 cup dark molasses
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 handful brown sugar (about 1/4 cup)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 generous teaspoon soda dissolved in a little water
• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 dessert spoon ginger (about 1 tablespoon)

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Add molasses to sour cream. Mix thoroughly, then add brown sugar, salt, and soda and stir until well mixed. Sift 2 cups cake flour with ginger and add to mixture. Put into a greased 8 x 8 pan and bake about one hour. Serve warm with whipped cream.
