How To Make old fashioned gingerbread

  • 1
    Combine the first 8 ingredients (through salt) in a large mixing bowl; stir well.
  • 2
    Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk. Add to the sugar mixture, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer until blended.
  • 3
    Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour, and beat until blended.
  • 4
    Pour the batter into a greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Use a greased and floured tube pan if you want to slice and toast for breakfast. Bake at 350º for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.
