Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until smooth and light.

Add the egg and unsulphured molasses, mixing well.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.

Slowly pour the very hot water into the batter, stirring until smooth. The batter will be thin.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to slightly cool.

VANILLA CREAM SAUCE

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy whipping cream. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted.

Bring the mixture to a boil, and then let it boil, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir in the pure vanilla extract, and let the sauce cool for a few minutes.

FINISH WITH

Serve the cake warm, topped with sliced bananas, whipped cream, and drizzled with the vanilla cream sauce.
