Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, cloves, nutmeg, and baking soda.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten. Add the honey and molasses and whisk until combined, then whisk in the milk and melted butter.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix just until combined. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 21 to 25 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Place the cake on a cooling rack and let it cool completely. Wait to make the frosting until the cake has completely cooled.
- To prepare the frosting: In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir until incorporated, then whip the frosting until it’s nice and fluffy.
- Spread frosting evenly over the top of the cake. If desired, sift additional cinnamon on top. Then, slice it and serve.
