2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350?F (175?C) and prepare your baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the molasses, oil, milk, and eggs until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
For added moisture, consider incorporating sour cream or yogurt into the batter.
Room temperature ingredients yield better mixing results.
Top your cake with cream cheese frosting or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra festive touch.
