Can also be baked in a 9-cup bundt pan. You may need to adjust baking time slightly to accomodate the different pan.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the egg, then mix in the molasses. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Blend into the creamed mixture. Stir in the hot water. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan before serving.
