Gingerbread Cake

I was looking around for Easter treats, but ran into this gingerbread cake that I'll make for Christmas.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, or 1 stick
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Direction

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square pan.
2. Cream the butter together with the sugar until light and fluffy. Whisk in the molasses and sour cream. Add eggs, continuing to beat until well-blended.
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and ginger. Add to the wet ingredients and beat just until smooth.
4. Pour into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack.
