In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the hot water. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined after each addition.
