8 Steps

  • Step 1

    Place rack in the centre of oven; preheat to 350°F. 

  • Step 2

    Melt 1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave for about 30 seconds. Add molasses and mix well. Grease pan with the extra butter and lightly dust with flour, knocking out the excess.

  • Step 3

    In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine sugar and eggs. Mix on medium speed until light and pale, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground black pepper, ground cloves and Dutch cocoa powder into a bowl and set aside.

  • Step 5

    Add melted butter and molasses to the sugar and eggs mixture and continue to mix for a few more seconds.

  • Step 6

    Stop the mixer. With a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. On low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, ensuring batter is evenly combined and smooth. 

  • Step 7

    Fill each cavity of the pan with about a tablespoon of batter. Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Immediately remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. 

  • Step 8

    Brush lightly with glaze or dust with confectioners’ sugar. Let it set for a few minutes and serve immediately.
