Ingredients

  • 2 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp cloves (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp ginger flavor extract (adjust to taste)
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk)

Directions

  1. Preheat & Prep
    Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease and flour a 9×5‑inch loaf pan for easy removal.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt—ensures even spice distribution.

  3. Cream Butter & Sugar
    In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, creating a tender, moist crumb.

  4. Add Wet Ingredients
    Beat in molasses, eggs, vanilla extract, and the ginger flavor extract for concentrated ginger warmth. Alternate by folding in the buttermilk with the dry ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix.

  5. Bake Until Golden
    Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top springs back.

  6. Cool & Slice
    Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice to serve moist, spiced ginger goodness.
