Triple Ginger Gingerbread Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan, or the equivalent.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in the egg and molasses. Beat in the flour and buttermilk, alternating a small amount at a time until well blended.

Fold in the pickled and fresh ginger. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake sit in the pan, on a rack, for 5 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and set it on a rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar sprinkled through a sieve or doily.
