INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, blend together the flour,
baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, pepper, cinnamon, allspice
and cloves. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of the brown sugar, 6
tablespoons of the butter and 2/3 cup of the molasses. Stir over
moderate heat until melted and well combined. Stir in the milk and
vanilla and set aside. Place the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2
tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons molasses in a 12-inch cast iron
skillet. Place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter and sugar
and heat the skillet. Stir to combine. Stir the brown sugar and milk
mixture into the dry ingredients. Beat with a spoon just until smooth.
Pour the batter into the skillet. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and
bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center o the
cake comes out clean. Beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add
the sour cream and continue beating until stiff. Serve the cake warm
from the skillet. Pass the whipped cream separately. From Gemini's
