Ingredients

For the cake, you will need:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup boiling water

For the topping, you will need:

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Stir in the molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

To make the topping, combine the melted butter, white sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Mix until it forms a smooth paste. Spread the topping over the top of the cooled cake.

Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
