| 1 | teaspoon | cinnamon | ground |
| 8 | tablespoons | butter | unsalted, at room temp |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | allspice | ground |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | nutmeg | ground |
| 1/2 | cup | sugar | |
| 1/2 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 2 | large | eggs | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | cloves | ground |
| 1 | x | orange zest | grated |
| 1 | cup | molasses | unsulfured |
| 2 1/2 | cups | flour, all-purpose | |
| 1 | cup | water | boiling |
| 2 | teaspoons | baking soda | |
| 1 | x | powdered sugar | |
| 2 | teaspoons | ginger | ground |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
Using a hand-held electric mixer set at high speed, beat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute.
Add the sugar and beat until light in color and texture, about 2 additional minutes. Beat in the eggs and orange zest.
Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and cloves onto a piece of waxed paper. In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine the molasses and boiling water.
Alternately in thirds, beat in the flour and molasses mixtures.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, and the cake is shrinking from the sides of the pan, 40 to 50 minutes.
Let stand on a wire cake rack for 5 minutes. Place the confectioners' sugar in a sieve and dust over the top of the cake. Serve the cake warm or completely cooled.
