In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices. Whisk to mix well; set aside.

In the mixing bowl of your stand mixer, combine the sugar and butter and beat until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat until mixed well. Add the molasses, vanilla and orange zest; beat until well mixed. Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Pour in half the buttermilk and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Repeat the same process with the remaining flour and milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium-high speed for 30 seconds more.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool for two minutes in the pan, then loosen the springform ring. Cool completely and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar before serving.
