Besides making gingerbread cookies for Christmas, you can also make this gingerbread cake. With hints of molasses, ginger, and cinnamon, it’s full of Christmas spirit. This rich cake is delicious with frosting or ice cream!

Steps

1

Mix the milk and baking soda together and set aside.
2

In a pot, combine the butter, golden syrup, molasses, and dark brown sugar. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves (do not boil).
3

In a large bowl, mix the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4

Pour the syrup mixture from step 2 into the flour mixture and stir until combined. Then add the milk and egg, and mix well.
5

Pour the batter into a cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 340°F (170°C) for about an hour or until the cake is fully cooked.
