ginger, cloves, salt and flour.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar. Stir
together with a wooden spoon. Add eggs and lemon zest (if using)
and stir once more. Gradually stir in dry ingredients. Pour batter
into greased baking dish. Sprinkle top of cake evenly with 1/2 c.
ginger.
Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center
comes out clean. Cool in pan, then dust with powdered sugar.
Serve cake with dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with ginger.
