Old-Fashioned Molasses Gingerbread Cake

A dark, moist and deeply spiced one-bowl snack cake: melted butter, brown sugar, an egg and plenty of unsulphured molasses mixed with flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, then thinned with boiling water so it bakes up soft and tender. Cut it into squares and serve warm with a spoonful of lightly sweetened whipped cream.
