This cake, at its best when warm, is full of dark molasses flavor and three kinds of ginger (fresh, ground and crystallized). It can be served with powdered sugar, whipped cream or even ice cream - a drizzle of caramel sauce is especially nice, too.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees, and lightly grease a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with unsalted butter.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the remaining butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the molasses, and grate the ginger using a fine grater into the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined, scraping the bowl as necessary, 1 minute more. Add the egg and mix to incorporate, about 30 seconds more.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon and salt to combine. Add half of the flour mixture to the mixer and mix on low speed to combine. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the milk and mix to incorporate. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the crystallized ginger by hand.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet, and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the surface with turbinado sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Let cool for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with powdered sugar.

[email protected]This cake was okay, but not great. It was a bit too dense for my taste and the ginger flavor was a bit overpowering. I probably wouldn't make it again.

[email protected]I was a bit disappointed with this cake. It was dry and lacked flavor. I think I might have overcooked it, but even so, I don't think it would have been very good even if it had been cooked perfectly.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat. The cake itself was moist and flavorful, but I would have preferred it to be a little less spicy.
