Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups GF baking blend
1/2 cup mesquite flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup unsulphured molasses (NOT blackstrap)
1/2 cup coconut nectar or coconut palm sugar
1/2 cup natural, unsweetened applesauce
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ounce fresh ginger (from a 1 1/2 -inch piece, should yield approximately 2 T), peeled and finely grated (I use a microplane)
3-4 tablespoons Ginger People ginger juice (or equivalent)
2 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
1 large egg plus 2 whites, room temperature

1
Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round aluminum cake pan and set aside (or set an ungreased silicone cake pan on a baking sheet).
2
Whisk together GF baking blend, mesquite flour, cinnamon, allspice, and pepper to break up lumps and aerate the mixture; set aside.
3
In a mixing bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together molasses, coconut nectar or sugar, applesauce and ginger juice.
4
Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan, stir in the baking soda, and then mix in the molasses mixture.
5
Remove from heat and add the fresh and crystallized ginger.
6
Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the batter.
7
Add the eggs, and continue mixing until everything is thoroughly combined.
8
The batter will be extremely loose-resist the urge to add more flour!
9
Pour into the prepared pan with the help of a rubber spatula, and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick or the tip of a sharp knife inserted comes out clean.
10
Cool the cake for at least 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
11
Serve with warm lemon curd, or top with a simple lemon icing drizzle.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
