Time 45m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
½ cup white sugar
½ cup dark molasses
½ cup vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten
½ cup boiling water
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl.
  • Stir sugar, molasses, oil, and egg into flour mixture until just combined.
  • Pour in boiling water and whisk until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 1 minute.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Tap pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
  • Pour lemon juice mixture over cake while cake is still hot. Spread the mixture around with a spatula to ensure even distribution. Let cake cool completely before serving.
