Yield Makes 1 eight-inch square cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan and parchment
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk, room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

Steps:
