Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups of milk over medium heat until it is just about to simmer. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of milk.
Slowly whisk the cornmeal into the hot milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in molasses, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined.
Stir in the remaining 1 cup of milk along with optional raisins, if using. The mixture will appear thin, which is normal.
Pour the pudding mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes during the first hour to ensure even consistency.
Once the pudding is set and has a caramelized top, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature. For extra indulgence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
