How to Make Cajun Ginger Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 cup dark molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup sour cream.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 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.
