Really Old Fashioned Gingerbread

I freaking LOVE baking gingerbread. I love hot gingerbread with fresh whipped cream, but I LOVE how my house smells all day long! It's the best. The molasses and cinnamon smell. Mmm! I found a semi healthy recipe that I love!

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup molasses
• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 whole wheat flour (or 1C ww flour and 1/2 C coconut flour)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup hot water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the egg, and mix in the molasses.
3. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Blend into the creamed mixture. Stir in the hot water. Pour into the prepared pan.
4. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven.
5. Serve it warm with delicious whipped cream, or ice cream would even be fantastic with it.
