Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the hot water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
