INGREDIENTS
| 1/2 | c | Molasses |
| 1 | c | Applesauce |
| 1 | ts | Cinnamon |
| 1/2 | ts | Cloves |
| 1 | ts | Baking powder |
| 1/2 | ts | Baking soda |
| 1 3/4 | c | Flour; (I use whole wheat pastry flour) |
| 2 | ts | Ginger; (optional) |
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the molasses and applesauce in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients and stir into the liquid. (If the batter seems very dry, add a little more applesauce or a little water.) Bake in a nonstick or pan-sprayed 8*8-inch baking pan, in a 350 degree oven, for 30-45 minutes or until it tests done. The optional ginger makes an acceptable gingerbread. I have also had success leaving out the ginger and adding 3 or 4 tablespoons of cocoa (I guess you could use carob) to make a tasty but not very sweet or rich chocolate cake. If you use cocoa you might need to add extra sweetening, but that depends on your taste. Posted to fatfree digest by brrgrrl@myremarq.com on Nov 21, 1999, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
