Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch-square cake pan. In the bowl of an electric mixer, or in a large bowl beating by hand, combine the butter and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, and continue to beat until well combined. Sift the flour with the ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Alternately add the eggs and flour to the butter mixture, beating very well after each addition. Add the orange juice and zest, and continue beating for several minutes until the batter is smooth and light. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Set the cake on a rack to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve squares of the cake spread with Fairy Butter, if desired.

George Washington's mother is credited with creating this dark, moist cake. It's flavored with molasses, cream sherry, ginger and other spices. This recipe is from the America's Best Recipes Cookbook; that Andrea scooped up at work for me.

This recipe was found in an old worn cookery book. Many descendants of Mary Washington (mother of the President) have this recipe. It was printed many years ago in a women's magazine and has been tucked away in an old recipe box.

- Measure out molasses, buttermilk,, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and brandy in a BOWL. Add to creamed sugar and butter. Mix well.
- Whisk (or beat) eggs till fluffy in a separate BOWL. Sift flour and cream of tartar in another BOWL.
- Add eggs and flour, alternately, to the batter. Keep mixer on low until all the eggs and flour is added. Zest and juice an orange in another BOWL. Don't skimp on the orange. You need every bit of the zest and juice to cuts the richness of molasses. I was fortunate to be able to go out in my backyard and pick a big ol' fresh navel orange. Add juice and zest. Lightly mix.
