# Components:

02 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
03 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

# Method:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until uniformly combined.
03 - Create a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined, leaving slight lumps intact to avoid overmixing.
