Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9"x9" baking pan by either generously greasing and flouring or by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.

Combine butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy.

Step 3

Add molasses and stir until well combined.

Step 4

Add egg and vanilla extract. Stir well.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet until completely combined.

Step 7

Carefully stir in boiling water until ingredients are smooth and well-combined.

Step 8

Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake on 350F (175C) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow to cool before slicing and serving. This Gingerbread tastes best when topped with whipped cream!
