Serving

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
1-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 cup water
4 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
topping:
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp ground ginger

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, then molasses, beating well after each addition.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, ground ginger, salt and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.
Pour half of the batter into a greased 8-in.-square baking dish. Drizzle with half of the melted chocolate. Top with remaining batter and chocolate. Bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
For topping, in a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and ginger; beat until soft peaks form. Serve with cake. If desired, sprinkle with crystallized ginger and chocolate shavings. Yield: 9 servings.
