1 teaspoon each; ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup molasses
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup hot water
2 teaspoons baking soda
In a large bowl, place the first eight ingredients. Stir the soda into the hot water until it bubbles then add to bowl. Mix well until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Here is a really quick gingerbread cake recipe that is a real saver at Christmastime. It is basically a one bowl recipe for a nice gingerbread, with a cake-like texture. It is baked in a long rectangular cake pan and is easy to serve. It is great warm or old as is, or with ice cream, whipped cream, a dusting of icing sugar, or a sauce - caramel, eggnog, spiced, crème anglaise, or a spiked sauce such as brown sugar rum, bourbon butterscotch, or a simple hard sauce.
