½ cup Unsalted Butter, softened

½ cup Boiling Water

½ cup Light Brown Sugar, loosely packed

½ cup Molasses

1 Egg

1 ½ cups Flour, all-purpose

2 tsp Ground Ginger

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

¾ tsp Kosher Salt

½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Baking Soda

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, mist a 9x9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray, and line it with parchment.

Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and pour the boiling water over it.

Allow it to stand for a few minutes, then whisk together until the butter is completely melted.

Whisk in the brown sugar, molasses, and egg until combined.

Add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking powder, stirring together until smooth.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and bake the gingerbread for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
