Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a 9-inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the molasses until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the hot water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite frosting. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream if desired.
