Preheat oven to 350°. Coat the inside of a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, and then add olive oil, applesauce, yogurt, molasses, honey and water. Whisk to combine.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix just until combined.
