Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees. Prepare a small saucepan. Then, combine your butter and milk. Afterward, put the saucepan over medium-high heat. Also, wait until the butter melts and bubbles form around the edges of the pan. After that, add your brown sugar. Then, make sure to whisk it gently until all the sugar dissolves. Plus, you should remove it from the heat and let it cool

Step 2

Afterward, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Then, once the butter mixture cools, stir in your egg

Step 4

After that, create a well in the middle of your flour mixture. Next, carefully pour in your butter mixture. Also, be sure to stir to create a smooth batter. In addition to that, avoid over-mixing your batter. Remember, stop mixing when you have incorporated everything

Step 5

Next, pour your gingerbread cake batter into your baking pan. After that, bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Likewise, bake it until your cake cooks thoroughly. Then, allow your cake to cool completely in the cooling wire rack.

Step 6

Ultimately, slice and serve with powdered sugar or whipped cream. Be sure to do this when your gingerbread cake cools completely.
