Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon cloves
  • 1½ teaspoon ginger
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter, gradually add sugar, mixing 3-4 minutes.
  • Add egg and molasses.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Whisk to blend. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the hot water, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Pour into greased and floured 9 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs attached).
  • This gingerbread tastes amazing just as it is. You can also top with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of caramel, a dollop of whipped cream, and more!
