Ingredients
- 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
- 2 3/4 cups cake flour
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sweet butter

- 1/4 cup orange juice squeezed (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (ground)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x 2-inch round cake pan. Sift together the dry ingredients and set aside in a bowl. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add molasses and brown sugar. Set aside to cool. When the butter mixture is cool, stir into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Finish by adding the buttermilk, orange juice and eggs. Place the batter in the prepared round cake pan and bake for 35--40 minutes until well done.
