• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Molasses
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Add the molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk until well incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgent treat.
