Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup molasses
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup 2% milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and molasses. In another bowl, whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.

Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
