How to Make Dark Molasses Gingerbread Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
- Add 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the dry ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in 1 cup boiling water. Whisk until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
- Add 2 large eggs and 1 cup dark molasses. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
