    • Instructions

    1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1½ cups dark brown sugar, not packed
    3 eggs
    ½ cup fancy molasses
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 cup milk
    3 cups flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    ½ tsp baking soda
    2 tbsp ground ginger
    2 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp ground allspice
    1 tsp ground nutmeg
    ½ tsp ground cloves
    1 tsp salt

    Item Name: Availability:
    Stand Mixer With Paddle Attachment
    Mixing Bowls
    Whisk
    Rubber Spatula Add to Cart -
    Desired Cake Pans
    Parchment Paper
    Small Paring Knife

    Dry Ingredients

    Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Set aside. 


    Wet Ingredients

    Mix together your milk and sour cream, set aside.


    Mix it All Together

    Beat butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, then molasses. Remember to scrape down the sides of bowl after each addition. Don’t worry if it seems curdled. Now alternate the flour mixture with the milk mixture. Beating on low, gradually add about a third of flour mixture. Beat just until mixed, followed by half the milk. Repeat additions, ending with flour. It will be very thick.


    Bake Your Cake

    Divide batter between pans. Roughly smooth the surface. To remove air pockets, run a knife through the batter in a grid pattern and bang pans on counter 5 to 6 times. Bake until centres seem set when lightly tapped and cake starts to come away from sides of pan.


    Congratulations!
