Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
In another bowl, whisk together molasses, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients using a stand mixer on low speed until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
Divide batter evenly between pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool before frosting.
For frosting, beat softened butter and cream cheese until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla paste until smooth.
Assemble the cake by layering frosting between cooled cake layers and finishing with a decorative layer on top.
