Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8x8-inch pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes.
- Mix in the egg and sour cream.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the molasses and hot water until mixed together completely. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Set aside.
- Alternate mixing half of the molasses into the batter, with half of the dry ingredients until all is incorporated together. Do not overmix the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared 8x8 pan.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake and let it cool while you make the frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
