Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23cm) square or round baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream if desired.
