Classic Gingerbread Cake

INGREDIENTS 1/2 C white sugar 1/2 C butter 1 egg 1 C molasses 2 1/2 C all-purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp ground cloves 1/2 tsp salt 1 C hot water METHOD Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease and flour a nine-inch square pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the egg, and mix in the molasses.

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.

Bake one hour in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool in pan before serving.

Mulled Wine INGREDIENTS 1 (750 ml) bottle of dry red wine 1 orange, sliced into rounds 8 whole cloves 2 cinnamon sticks 2 star anise 2-4 tablespoons sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste (or your desired sweetener) optional add-in: 1/4 cup brandy (or your favorite liqueur) optional garnishes: citrus slices (orange, lemon and/or lime), extra cinnamon sticks, extra star anise

METHOD Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, and heat just barely to a simmer over medium-high heat.

(Be careful not to boil the mulled wine — you don’t want to boil off the alcohol.) Reduce heat to mediumlow, cover, and let the wine simmer for at least 15 minutes or up to three hours.

Strain, and serve warm with your desired garnishes.

Homemade mulled wine is incredibly easy to make on the stovetop (or simmer in the slow cooker), it’s easy to customize with your favorite spices and add-ins.

Perfect for after a day of holiday shopping!

ive Gifts

HOMEMADE COOKIES Think of fun ways to package this delicious gift - a coffee mug , a wooden box or a vintage tin.
