Preparation:

Step 1
• Combine 2 3/4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons gingerbread spice mix, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon each baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, beat 8 ounces (220 g) softened butter with 1 2/3 cups light brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, 4 minutes. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, then beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 2
• Beat in 1/4 cup molasses on low speed, then add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with 3/4 cup milk. Press the batter into a greased and floured 10-cup round cake pan with a vent in the center.
Step 3
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar.
