Okay. It's in the oven right now. I didn't have a 9x9 but used an almost- 9" spring form (really). I don't have any cream cheese so I'm going to make a lemon glaze. What a great way to get started Christmas cooking!
When I saw the coffee I thought it was Stout. The most insane ginger cake I've ever made had coffee, stout AND coco powder, fresh grated ginger too and lemon zest. It was surprisingly good. Grandma probably wouldn't have like it but hers comes pretty close to what I think ginger bread should look and taste like. I have lots of Steens molasses I need to use up so I'm going to make it!. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
I’ve used stout beer as the liquid too, and added some grated fresh ginger. It’s a little fussier than a traditional grandma snack cake but it’s soooo good.
My granny always said that ginger cake is better the next day. It gives the flavours time to get. Ginger cake has always been my favourite and will definitely try this recipe ; thanks.
You could use pure maple syrup if you have that but not pancake syrup. While measurements may vary per recipe, you can generally replace 1 cup molasses with 3/4 cup packed brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will have a stronger molasses flavor than light brown sugar. This is an easy swap: Just mix 3/4 cup granulated sugar with 1/4 cup water and use in place of 1 cup molasses.
I'm making this! Yum! I have mini loaf pans...do you think this recipe will work in these pans? Want to share with neighbors. ❤️🎄🎅🤶 Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and joyous New Year. 😊
I really want to try this. However I really do hate the taste of coffee. And every time someone tells me you can’t taste the coffee in the recipe I always can. I just hate wasting good ingredients. Can anyone tell me that made this did you taste the coffee?
Usually when I see the add coffee instructions it’s to enhance chocolate in this case the molasses. I am going to make it tomorrow adding hot chocolate in replace of coffee and see what happens. I find most recipes are a starting point, add in and take away as you want. To me, experimenting is the fun part.
I made it, I know he said you could also use water but I made two, one with coffee and as a coffee lover you couldn’t taste it but I had some good hot chocolate and made one with that, honestly they tasted similar, my adult son and husband couldn’t tell the difference. Hope this helps. I made the icing and found I needed to add more icing sugar
I am so going to make this! I think I’ll add lemon zest to the frosting, for a little zing.
Don’t ruin that gingerbread cake flavor.
You're correct. Either lemon zest or orange zest in the frosting would be terrific.
Orange zest for me and little chunks of candied ginger in the cake!
Oh yeah. Making this later today. Just got to get some molasses. Thanks love, and have a truly enjoyable Christmas.

My fav.
So good I need to make this
It came out great. It's the perfect tea cake. No too sweet even with the glaze. So easy to make I'll make it often.
Merry Christmas!
Some orange zest would good on the top too
Yummy 😋
If I don't have molasses what . Can I use dark brown sugar?
Dark brown sugar has the most molasses flavor. I calculate 2/3rd's cup packed and add 1/4 cup water or extra coffee to the batter.

Yup... but cut back on the timing or they get over-baked and dry out. And don’t expect them to rise as much as a quick bread.
Why do I crave to prepare this cake along with adding a pinch of Cayenne pepper? Just kinda came to me.
What can you use instead of molasses when you're diabetic?

If you like tea you could us strong tea.
