4. Add buttermilk, molasses and melted butter to the egg. Mix well.

5. Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cloves, ginger and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix them together using a fork.

6. Pour liquid ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir with spoon to make a smooth batter.

7. Pour batter into the baking dish.

8. Bake the gingerbread on center rack of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

9. Check to see if the gingerbread is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the gingerbread is done.
