Spiced Gingerbread Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup molasses (avoid blackstrap)
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup hot water

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
3. Add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Mix in the egg, then add the molasses, blending until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture, mixing after each addition. Once combined, stir in the hot water until smooth.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean. If needed, bake for an additional 15-30 minutes, checking frequently.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving. Enjoy your delicious spiced gingerbread!

I think gingerbread cake with spices must be delicious! Though, I’m interested in how you balance the flavors. Do you use a lot of ginger or other spices?
