1 cup vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil)

Peel, slice and chop ginger or grate it very fine for total of 1/2 cup; set aside.
In large bowl, combine molasses, sugar and oil; set aside.
In medium bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves and freshly ground pepper; set aside.
In small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to boil; stir in baking soda, then add to molasses mixture. Stir in ginger.
Gradually whisk dry ingredients into liquid ingredients. Add eggs; mix until thoroughly combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
