Preparation

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cloves. Set aside.

2. IN a medium bowl, using an electric mixer on medium high speed, beat brown sugar and butter for 1 to 2 minutes or until fluffy. Beat in egg and egg yolk. Beat in molasses. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, making three additions of flour and two of buttermilk and beating on low speed until smooth.
