Gingerbread is one of my top favorite cakes and I will definitely be trying this one out. I do have a question though. You mention Marion Cunningham's 'Lost Suppers'. Did you mean 'Lost Recipes'? Or maybe 'The Supper Book'?

When I don’t have molasses, I use a half dark treacle and half golden syrup mixture which works well. Lemon Curd is the PERFECT go with!

They don't sell molasses here, so I had to make do with dark syrup. While it doesn’t have that big, robust flavour one gets from molasses, you can increase the spices a bit to compensate (which is what I did). The smell when cooking is wonderful and it's hard to wait for it to cool before having a slice. My husband had his with whipped cream, but I had mine with lemon curd. It's a beautiful cake and one I will make again.
