Old Fashioned Molasses Cake

2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup hot water
9 tablespoons fat-free whipped topping

In a small bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg. Beat in molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt; add to butter mixture alternatively with water and mix well.

Transfer to a 9 inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares, garnish with whipped topping.
