A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.
½ cup butter softened
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup unsulphured molasses
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
¾ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling water
Prepare a 9x9 pan by generously greasing and flouring or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl cream together the butter and brown sugar. Add molasses and mix until combined. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix well. In a separate medium-size bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet molasses mixture. Stir until combined. Carefully stir in the boiling water until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes.
