Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

For the lemon sauce:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

For the cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the molasses and beat until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the lemon sauce:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest.
  • Pour the sauce over the cooled cake and let the cake absorb the sauce before serving.
