Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350º.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and next 6 ingredients (flour through cloves), and cut in margarine with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Reserve 1/2 cup flour mixture; set aside.

Combine the remaining flour mixture, baking powder, and baking soda, and add the buttermilk, molasses, and egg. Beat at medium speed of a mixer until blended. Spoon into an 8-inch round cake pan coated with cooking spray. Combine reserved 1/2 cup flour mixture and water; stir with a fork. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
