Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium sized bowl, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and molasses and beat until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, spices and baking soda. Add into the sugar and butter mixture and stir until well combined, but do not overmix. Dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
Using a spatula, spread into a well-greased or nonstick 9” cake pan, creating an even layer.
Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove and place on a cooling rack (still in the pan) for about 10 minutes before turning out and allowing to cool completely.
Directions for buttercream:
In a bowl, beat the butter for 5 minutes until it changes color to a lighter shade. Add in the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add desired amount of food coloring. Place in a piping bag and create swirled patterns of choice.
