Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups molasses
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups boiling water
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the molasses, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

In a heatproof bowl or measuring cup, stir together the granulated sugar and boiling water until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Carefully pour the boiling water mixture over the batter in the baking dish. Do not stir.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pudding cake cool for about 10 minutes. As it cools, a warm, spiced pudding layer will form beneath the cake.

Step 10

Serve the gingerbread pudding cake warm, optionally topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
