Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg), and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy.
Step 4
Beat in the molasses and eggs until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
Step 6
Finally, stir in the hot water until the batter is well blended. It will be thin; don't worry, that's how it should be.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the greased baking pan.
Step 8
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once it's completely cool, you can dust it with powdered sugar or even make a simple glaze with powdered sugar and a little water or lemon juice.
