Give me all the loaves masquerading as cake, but especially deep, dark, mysterious gingerbread.

Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fancy molasses (unsulfured light)
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
Steps
-
Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly butter a loaf pan. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup hot water and molasses. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the egg until glossy, then mix in the apple sauce and molasses mix.
-
Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined and pour into the pan.
-
Bake for 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too much, top loosely with a piece of foil. Cool completely in the pan on wire rack before optional glazing (see notes for glaze).
