- Preheat oven to 375°F
- In large bowl beat shortening on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt and continue mixing another two to three minutes. Next beat in the egg and molasses until incorporated in to the other wet ingredients.
- Add flour and fully mix in to the batter using as little mixing time as possible. Depending on your appliance, you may need to add the last bit of flour in by hand. Stir in cherries and chocolate.
