Comment préparer Gingerbread Cake Cook's Illustrated

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the boiling water – this will create a wonderfully moist cake.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze (recipe not included).
