Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a small bowl, mix together the milk, molasses, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the wet ingredients, until everything is well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by creaming together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until light and fluffy.
Once the cake is completely cooled, frost it with the prepared frosting and decorate as desired.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious and fruit-free Christmas cake!
