ETA: here it is.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 banana, mushed up (approx 1/4 cup + 1/8 cup) plus 1/8 cup margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup mild molasses mixed with 1 cup hot water
Methodology
1. Preheat oven to 350* F. Mix wet ingredients (sugar, egg, margarine, banana) in bowl with electric mixer/immersion blender type of frog.
2. Sift together flour, baking soda, spices, salt. Be careful if you don't want flour all over the kitchen (why you would object to this I cannot think.)
3. Alternate between adding molasses and flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Pour into a greased 9" baking pan (I used a round one with 2 inch sides I think). Bake in the middle of the oven until the knife comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes. You can then turn it out of the pan without much fuss.
Recommend serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Cake has 2242 calories. If 10 pieces, 224.2 cal/piece. 15 pieces = 150 calories/slice.
It's not terribly sweet, but very dark and moist, so it makes a nice finish for people who don't have an all-consuming need to eat SUGAR all the time (er, and I liked it too.) Plus gingerbread feels healthier than chocolate.
Next time, I'm going to try it with pumpkin. Will keep you updated.
