Equipment

  • loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • spatula

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour essential for the cake's structure and fluffiness
  • 1 tablespoon Ground ginger gives the cake its signature spicy warmth and aroma
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder helps the cake rise to fluffy perfection
  • 1 teaspoon Salt enhances the other flavors
  • 1 cup Brown sugar adds moisture and a rich, caramel-like sweetness
  • 3 large Eggs ensure they're at room temperature for best results
  • 1 cup Unsulfured molasses contributes a deep flavor and moist texture
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil keeps the cake tender

Instructions

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat brown sugar and eggs in another bowl until fluffy. Add molasses and vegetable oil, mixing until smooth.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, mixing just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Notes

Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. Remember to check for doneness before the minimum baking time to avoid over-baking.
