RECIPE NAME: GINGERBREAD WITH HARD SAUCE

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 cup Sugar
4 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Soda
1/8 tsp Salt
Sift above ingredients 4 times

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
In a separate bowl, mix the following:
1 cup oil
1 cup TJ Blackburn syrup (blue label)
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Mix well with the sifted ingredients. Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 pan or two loaf pans.
Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean

Hard Sauce
While cake is baking, mix the following in a small mixing bowl:
1 cup powdered sugar
6 T butter
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 T boiling water
Once cake is baked, spoon Hard Sauce over cake while still hot. Sauce will melt into the cake, and harden once cake is cooled.

MY TIP:
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil. Gingerbread is even better the day after!
