Cooking Time:
1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 large egg
1 cup hot water
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
powdered sugar or frosting for topping
Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, followed by the molasses and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with hot water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top with powdered sugar or spread with your preferred frosting before serving.
