ginger cake
Cinnamon, clove and ginger are three flavors and aromas that directly transport me to Christmas. Today they come in the form of a cake that will serve you the same for breakfast as for a snack and if we put a cinnamon cream like today, then it can even be a delicious dessert.
Ingredients

- A pinch of salt
- 200 grams of flour
- 160 gr of brown sugar or panela
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

- 165ml hot water
- 1 egg
For the coverage:
- 300 ml very cold liquid cream

- In a bowl mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Mix and reserve.
- In a large bowl, beat the melted butter with the sugar, molasses and hot water. Mix well. With the help of an electric mixer start beating adding little by little the mixture of flour and spices. When everything is incorporated, add the beaten egg and mix well.
- Pour the mixture onto the low pan and bake for about 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool on a rack.
