I went back and forth on what to call this cake. It strongly resembles gingerbread, so gingerbread sounded appropriate right now around the holiday season, but my kids said hmm… I should stick with Ginger Molasses Cake as the flavors of these two are dominant. I digress! either ways this old fashioned holiday cake in my opinion should be served extra warm with a side of whipped cream or ice-cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up my mom made this cake during Christmas. Back in those days, the infamous Fruit cake was widely popular in India, I don’t know about now, but Christmas meant fruit cake. My mom never made fruit cake, but made a spiced ginger cake and we loved with fresh cream. I tweaked her recipe a bit, but its largely to the point. Its best served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A word on molasses:<\/strong> Dark molasses is more intensely flavored and less sweet than light or mild molasses. I love blackstrap, which is less sweet and has a stronger flavor than dark molasses. But use what you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n
