Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a bowl, pour boiling water over oats. Let sit for 15 minutes to soften.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, then add molasses and vanilla.
Stir in the softened oats.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely before serving. Optionally top with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.
Notes
For added texture, stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or raisins.
This cake stays moist for days—store covered at room temperature or refrigerate.
