9 servings

  • 1.6666667461395 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1.25 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup dark molasses
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 0.5 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.25 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • Whisk together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and Chinese five-spice powder in a bowl. Stir in sugar, molasses, oil, and egg until just combined. Pour in boiling water; whisk until batter is smooth and shiny, about 1 minute.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl until sugar dissolves.
  • Pour lemon juice mixture over cake while cake is still hot. Spread mixture around with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
  • Let cake cool completely before serving.
