Prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and line an 8 by 3-inch

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder and soda, salt and spices. In
a small saucepan dissolve sugar in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Stir
in coffee granules, molasses and butter. Let syrup cool slightly. In a
small bowl beat egg. Gradually whisk some syrup into egg, then whisk egg
mixture into remaining syrup. Whisk syrup mixture into dry ingredients.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake cake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center is nearly set, but slightly
loose. Sprinkle cake with ginger and pecans and bake 15 to 20 minutes
