Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Butter an 8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl combine flour, brown sugar, ginger, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cloves.
Combine the butter and water in a pan and warm over medium heat until the butter melts.
Pour butter mixture into dry ingredients and stir until almost combined.
Stir in molasses and egg.
Stir until combined.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
Using a spoon, drizzle half the chocolate over the batter.
Pour remaining batter on top, and drizzle the remaining chocolate over in a zigzag pattern (or in strips about 1 ½” apart.)
Draw a butter knife through the batter (perpendicular to the chocolate lines) to make a design.
Bake 30-35 minutes until the top springs back when lightly touched.
