How to Make Easy Gingerbread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup molasses until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gradually add 1 cup boiling water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into the prepared 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 in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
