Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, vigorously whisk the melted butter, dark brown sugar, and molasses until smooth. Carefully whisk in the boiling water until fully incorporated, then quickly whisk in the egg.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until the batter is smooth and no flour streaks remain. The batter will be quite thin.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- 6
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the gingerbread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or lemon sauce.
