Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1/2 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, then stir in the molasses until fully combined.
Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves into the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
Slowly pour in the hot water, stirring carefully until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and springy to the touch.
Notes
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 20 seconds. If you prefer a lighter flavor, replace half the molasses with maple syrup. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of lemon zest-infused cream.
