Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees with a rack set in the center. Generously butter an 8-inch round, 3-inch high springform pan. Line bottom with parchment paper and place on baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In a small saucepan, stir together boiling water, molasses, and baking soda until molasses has completely dissolved.
- Place butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Reduce speed to medium-low and add egg; mix until combined. Add grated ginger and mix to combine.
- Add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the molasses mixture, scraping down sides as necessary. Batter will be very wet. Pour batter into prepared pan and transfer to oven. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly before removing ring from springform pan; serve warm.
BEST EVER EASY GINGER CAKE
I searched for 20 years to find the definitive ginger cake recipe - this is it! So easy to make and full of flavour it keeps well and can be frozen - iced or uniced. This cake is ideal for morning or afternoon tea. I also like to take it on picnics. If you prefer a lighter gingerbread, substitute golden syrup for the treacle. If you have a food processor this recipe is even quicker - simply process the dry ingredients until mixed then, with the motor running, pour the wet ingredients through the hopper. Process until well combined and pour into the lined tin.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a 25cm square (10 inch) cake tin and line it with baking (silicone) paper.

- Sift all of the dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl.
- Combine butter pieces, golden syrup and treacle in a small saucepan, cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until butter is melted.
- (This step can also be done in the microwave.) Add water to syrup mixture.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the syrup mixture and the eggs.
- Mix until well combined.
- Dont be concerned that the mixture is quite liquid at this stage.
- Pour cake mixture into prepared tin.
- Tap tin lightly on bench to dispel air bubbles.
- Place on centre shelf of 180° C (350° F) oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Check towards the end of the baking time to ensure the edges are not burning.
- The cake should be dark but must not be blackened at the edges.
- (If you do burn the edges, cut them off and ice over the edges and no-one will notice!).
- When the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Then, carefully invert it onto a rack or bread board to cool.
- Icing the Cake: Sift the icing sugar into a small mixing bowl.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, beat the butter (or margarine) until smooth.
- Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating between additions until the sugar is completely mixed with the butter.
- Add the lemon juice and beat well until the mixture reaches an easily spreadable consistency.
- Spread icing over the top of the cake and (optional) decorate with pieces of crystallised ginger.

FRESH GINGER CAKE
David Lebovitz's headily spiced cake, which Amanda Hesser wrote about in The Times in 1999, calls for a quarter-pound of fresh ginger. Mr. Lebovitz, who was a pastry chef at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., has since had a long career as a cookbook author and blogger. But this recipe, from his second cookbook, "Room for Dessert," is from relatively early in his writing career. Boldly flavored with just cinnamon, cloves, black pepper and, yes, a lot of fresh ginger, it is simplicity exemplified, coming together quickly and without a mixer. The cake - much like the recipe itself - ages well, its flavors melding and deepening over time.

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven and heat to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with 3-inch sides, or a 9-inch springform pan, with a circle of parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the molasses, sugar and oil. In separate medium bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Stir in baking soda, then mix hot water into molasses mixture. Stir in ginger.
- Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into batter. Add eggs, and continue mixing until everything is thoroughly combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, and bake for about 1 hour, until the top of cake springs back lightly when pressed or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of cake browns too quickly before cake is done, drape a piece of foil over it and continue baking.
- Cool cake for at least 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of cake to loosen it from pan. Invert cake onto a cooling rack, and remove parchment paper.
