Servings: persons

1 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened (2 Sticks)
1-2/3 cup Brown Sugar (dark Brown Preferred)
2 whole Large Eggs, Lightly Beaten
1-1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1-1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1 cup Boiling Water

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease and line a loaf pan.
2
Cream together butter and sugar, and add eggs and vanilla.
3
In separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
4
Add flour mixture to butter/sugar/egg mixture, alternately with the boiling water. The result is a smooth batter.
5
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the oven down to 325 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes (you may need to go to 20-25 minutes, depending on your oven. A tester won't come out clean, but the batter on it shouldn't still look raw either).
6
Cool cake completely in pan on a cooling rack. Turn cake out of pan and wrap tightly-or inhale immediately, depending on your level of willpower.
