- 400g (3 1/3 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 240g (1 cup + 1 tbsp) whole milk (lukewarm)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Grease a 10-cup fluted tube pan by brushing 1 tablespoon of melted butter all over with a pastry brush, then coat with granulated sugar.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk and yogurt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar for 2-3 minutes.
- While the mixer is on low speed, slowly drizzle in the molasses.
- Once all of the molasses is added, scrape down the bowl and beat on medium speed until everything is fully combined.
- Add in the vanilla and eggs one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next.
- In about 3 additions, alternate adding the dry and milk-yogurt ingredients until everything is fully combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl frequently.
- Pour batter into the prepared Fluted Tube Pan and bake for about 45-50 mins.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then immediately use a knife to gently loosen the sides and flip the cake out onto a cooling rack.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before dusting it with powdered sugar.
