Инструкции

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Brush the insides of 8 mini- or possibly baby cake pans, each 4 inches across and 1 inch deep, with a light coating of melted butter, dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, expresso pwdr, cocoa, grnd ginger, baking pwdr, salt, and black pepper together just to mix; reserve.
  3. Put the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or possibly use a hand-held mixer, and beat on medium-high speed till the mix is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. The butter and sugar must be beaten till they are very light and fluffy, so do not rush it - the process can take 6 to 8 min with a hand-held mixer, 3 to 4 min with a heavy-duty mixer. Reduce the speed to medium and add in the Large eggs one at a time, beating at high speed for 30 seconds to a minute after each addition. The mix may look curdled, but which's OK - it will smooth out as you continue to mix the batter. Beat in the fresh ginger and add in the molasses, mixing on medium speed for 1 to 2 min, till completely smooth. With a rubber spatula, mix in the dry ingredients, mixing only till they are incorporated.
  4. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and rotate the pans a couple of times to level. Bake the cakes for 20 to 25 min, or possibly till the cakes are springy to the touch and the tops crack. Take care not to overbake these cakes, they should remain moist.
  5. Transfer the cakes to a rack and cold for 10 min, then run a thin knife around the edges of the pans to loosen and unmold the cakes. Turn the cakes over so they cold right side up.
  6. Serve the cakes hot or possibly at room temperature with a generous dollop of lightly whipped cream and a shower of candied lemon peel if you like. These moist cakes will keep covered at room temperature for 3 days or possibly, wrapped airtight, can be frzn for up to a month. Thaw, still unwrapped, at room temperature.
  7. This recipe yields 8 small cakes.
  8. Large Gingerbread Cake: Butter and flour a 10-inch round cakepan, fill with the batter, and bake for 50 to 60 min, till the top is springy and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a rack and cold for 10 min, then run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen and unmold the cake. Turn the cake over so it cools right side up.
  9. Comments: This gingerbread is spicy, robust, and bursting with the heat of ginger and black pepper. Its texture is soft and moist, its color, dark and mysterious. It looks like a sweet chocolate cake, but it delivers a punch. Wonderful with lightly whipped cream and candied lemon peel, it's a good match with ice cream of various flavors. Although the cakes are adorable made in baby cake pans, the recipe can be made successfully as one large cake.
