King Arthur Gingerbread Pudding Cakes

 Mom made these in cup-size mason jars, and I was delighted to take 2 home since I LOVED them. It's what I always wanted sticky toffee pudding to be (and yes, I know sticky toffee pudding has dates).

CAKE

1 1/4 c (149 g) AP flour

3/4 t baking soda

1 t ginger

1/2 t cinnamon

1/8 t nutmeg

1/8 t cloves

1/4 t salt

1/2 c (170g) molasses

1/2 c (113g) milk, at room temperature

1 large egg, at room temperature

4T (57g) butter, at room temp, at least 65 F

1/4 c (50g) sugar

PUDDING

1 c packed (213g) light brown sugar

4 t corn starch

1 1/4 c (283g) hot water

4T (57g) butter, room temperature

Preheat oven to 350. Butter eight 8 oz ramekins or an 8"square pan. Place ramekins on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Make cake: combine dries. In another bowl, mix molasses, milk, and eggs.

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add dries and molasses mix in turns, beating on low speed, until just blended, scraping.

Pour batter into pan, or heaping 1/4 c of batter in each ramekin.

Make pudding: mix brown sugar and corn starch. Heat water and butter together just until butter melts; gradually stir into brown sugar mix.

Pour pudding mix slowly over batter in pans or a scant 1/4 c over each of the filled ramekins.

Bake 25-28 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake on top comes out clean. Serve warm.
