Instructions
Preheat the oven at 325 degrees F or 165 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.
Also grease the 8 inch square baking pan with butter or oil. Or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Take dry ingredients (all purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, salt, baking soda, lemon zest and chopped ginger) in a bowl.
Whisk it well till incorporated well. Keep it aside.
In another large bowl, take softened unsalted butter and sugar.
Using the spatula, start mashing and mixing the butter and sugar. It will becomes like a thick paste, that time switch to wire whisk.
If you are using the stand mixer or electric mixer then no need to mash with spatula, directly start beating.
Now using the wire whisk, beat it till it gets smooth, light and fluffy.
Now add molasses. Beat it again till well combined.
Now add milk. Make sure to use the room temperature milk (not cold from the fridge).
Again beat it. It may curdle because of too much liquid, but it will fine once we add flour.
Now add flour mixture.
Mix it well, halfway through I switched to spatula, so I do not over mix the batter.
Pour the batter into prepared pan.
Smooth out the surface and spread the batter evenly.
Bake into preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean then cake it ready.
Remove from the oven, place on wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan itself for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, using butter knife loosen the sides of cake from pan.
Invert the cake upside down on the wire rack. Let the cake cool down completely.
