Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually stir in the milk mixture, followed by the molasses mixture, mixing until just combined.

Incorporate the Egg: Add the egg and whisk until fully blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake the Cake: Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. For an extra moist top, wrap the cooled cake in foil and let it rest overnight. Store in an airtight container.

Prepare the Frosting: Beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and cinnamon, mixing thoroughly. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, then gently fold in the molasses. Chill until firm.

Frost the Cake: Once the cake has rested overnight, spread the frosting evenly on top for the richest flavor and texture.
