Molasses Gingerbread – notes
I somehow can’t resist any gingerbread :)
I love the spicy aroma and taste of the spices added to gingerbread and I never skimp on them :)
In my youth, my mom rarely baked gingerbread.
And when she did, it was usually Kętrzyński Gingerbread – the kind from a packet :D
Supposedly from a packet, but it was simply perfect, and I still have it somewhere in the back of my mind. When I bake a normal gingerbread cake on a large baking sheet. And I always check if the taste is similar or not. Although with childhood flavors, it’s also different. However, the emotions from those days most influence their memory. All of this together combines into a mixture of typical childhood nostalgia :D
Now I also baked such a simple, fluffy, and moist molasses gingerbread.
I had “festively” strong molasses, so the cake turned out very dark, with that smoky, slightly coffee-like taste of molasses. A bomb for me :)
If you haven’t used molasses in your baking before, you absolutely must do it.
You can buy it easily in online stores – e.g., on Allegro.
For gingerbread, you will, of course, also need gingerbread spice. I recommend preparing homemade gingerbread spice, because it is super aromatic and much better than store-bought ones.
And once you have it, bake yourself some ginger cake, soft gingerbread cookies, or fluffy gingerbread cake :)
Ps. I recommend following my instagram for delicious and easy recipes!

Molasses Gingerbread Cake Recipe
Prepare a simple and delicious moist gingerbread with molasses for the holidays. Molasses is a thick, dark brown syrup that is a byproduct of sugar production. It is not particularly sweet, but it has a strong and rather heavy taste, somewhat like coffee and "smoky". This cake does not contain chocolate or cocoa; its color comes from molasses. The gingerbread is nicely fluffy and moist and can last a long time if stored in an airtight container. I highly recommend it for Christmas and beyond.
