🥄 Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cup hot water
🥄 Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar, beat in the eggs one at a time.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add the hot water to the batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, you can frost it with cream cheese frosting, dust it with powdered sugar, or serve it plain.
