How to Make Spicy Molasses Blueberry Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 cup molasses.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
