How to Make Old Fashioned Gingerbread | Christmas Recipes | Allrecipes.com

[@overfortieshealth2775]

Now, good morning Allreceipes, I recently used your recipe to make a ginger cake 🍰 🍰 & it came out, absolutely amazing, and so soft, as well as moist, and I just wanted to reach out and show you my gratitude for providing this delicious cake, and well known, classic cake recipe, thank you for the recipe, this was much appreciated.

[@CherryJ2911]

First time baking it and it came out PERFECT

[@youtubehatesus2651]

My first ever gingerbread cake just went in the oven. I remember it from my childhood. Will put whipped cream on top.

[@youtubehatesus2651]

turned out great. thank you. I added some nutmeg too

[@denisemiller3247]

This is SO GOOD with applesauce

[@OB17358]

This reminds of the German Christmas cookies with the edible paper like bottom and a thin white frosting of my childhood in cake form.

[@b.a.d.2086]

Mix the molasses with the hot water. Serve for breakfast with eggs scrambled with melty American cheese, a side of canned or fresh apricots. Healthy!

[@velvetvonblack109]

I switched the molasses with honey and. I think it came out tasting better than when I tried it with molasses.

[@sabamall7061]

so would you perfer honey instead of molasses????????????????

[@nourhedfi3974]

can i use the same amount of honey as the molasses

[@Stephen_Strange]

Yes, your personal preference. I'm going to try both options then do a taste test. I'd rather try the old recipes than the newer ones.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Each has a different flavor. Molasses has a mild caramel earthy taste to it when honey, depending on honey type of choice will taste different but both are sweet. Whatever you choose keep in mind that swaping to honey means you will have to reduce two things.. amonut by a 1/4 because it is sweeter and reduce baking time because honey bakes fast. Acacia honey is best to use for baking, it is mild-tasting has a vanilla-like smell and taste as it is lighter in color and texture.

[@malkahbatyisrael290]

So that makes it NOT gingerbread! 🤔😒

[@caterinafrancolino824]

Thank you very much made the cake and all the family loved it xxx

[@karunathilakadingiribandag4541]

hi i was looking for nice ginger bread recipe but i could n:t find.and finally i got nice recipe from you i made it yesterday it came very nicely it was good recipe i was looking for thank you so much.

[@richardperry6086]

Good recipe. Simple and easy. Only change I would make next time is to reduce the molasses by 50%. The molasses flavor was quite strong and a little overpowering.

[@netherdominater9960]

Richard Perry So then a half cup instead of a full cup?

[@lifeflite1534]

I got the same result. It was so overwhelming, I had to ditch the whole gingerbread. Just too much of a bitter molasses aftertaste. So glad someone else found the flavor overpowering. Thank you for your comment, wish I had read it before I made mine..Will try again, but with less molasses.

[@belfiorebianco]

Omg thank you...saved me from a disaster... even less is good... I'd say 30-40%...and it could be sweeter...but I think I will glaze them. Other wise good cake recipe.

[@stephaniemcgee3740]

That looks really good 😋

[@sarrouska]

Lovely ! Gonna make today for my Dad !❤❤❤🇩🇿

[@siewpaiyuen2314]

Drooling ... Merry Christmas !!

[@fathimasumaiyaalawudeen8836]

If u don't have molasses u can use honey..but it would be bit sweeter so it's better if u reduce the sugar,nd also the colour will be not dark like it is in the recipe.

[@ledzepgirlnmful]

Do you have to make any adjustments for High Altitude ?( I live at 6700 ft above sea level!) I don't usually bake cakes from scratch very often.

[@BethyKable]

Looks fantastic! Thanks !

[@dtulip1]

Any chance of the recipe in lbs/oz or metric...pretty please

[@paulinejohnson3527]

Awesome cake recipe!

[@daphnerodriguez9980]

[@recipekhao5908]

[@lauralutz4538]

I’m making this!!

[@Nostalgette]

This looks like a wonderfully easy recipe to make and tasty! Thanks for the video.

[@ibstayfly]

I love gingerbread. I use fresh ginger when I make it is that ok

[@braich1984]

Can I use molasses sugar instead of white sugar and the whole cup of molasses?

[@michaeladove7269]

Hi there! I just stumbled over your video, I will definitely try it. I subscribed and of course hit the like button! Thank you for the recipe! :)

[@allrecipes]

Glad to have you as a new Allrecipes subscriber, Michaela Dove! Thanks for joining our community.

[@michaeladove7269]

Thank you and you're very welcome! :)

[@NoorReenm]

what a great recipes as always love all ur recipes merry Christmas to u and ur family

[@tastyhealthyrecipes6715]

very nice work

[@shanenoel1270]

It doesn't look very dark. I like it darker

[@jennieronquillo1708]

Can I used ginger paste

[@lynnthompson4363]

I add soft brown sugar and 3 tsp ginger and 1 tsp mixed spice, just my preference....

[@queenbee7855]

Very very nice n merry christmas to u.

[@teeroosam6781]

Hi please tell me how long have you baked it and if you can use instead instead of molasses if you don't want to add hot water. Thanks

[@illuminatedgalaxies7777.]

I'm going to make this today💜yummy😊

[@marioriospinot]

Nice.

[@naturelover2470]

Thank you

[@ibstayfly]

I use all ingredients but the texture doesn't come out like this. I wonder why? How long do you bake gingerbread for and what temperature? Is it 350 etc. I use a toaster oven. My regular oven works but I find it very confusing to use. I don't know if that's the reason why

[@gsooo1]

Merry Christmas "all recipes". & where's the rum cake??

[@PRTTYBTTRFLY1]

Yum

[@libertyann439]

I like molasses! So there!😂

[@cynthiaweller7148]

can i use brown sugar instead of regular sugar?

[@williamowens5542]

Sure, but why? One cup of white granulated sugar plus one tablespoon of molasses equals one cup of packed light brown sugar. Why bother with brown sugar when the cake already has a whole cup of molasses in it?

[@naturelover2470]

Can I use a springform pan?

[@allrecipes]

A springform pan will work, Susan Susan. To accommodate the same amount of batter, use one that's 9-inches diameter. You may also want to wrap the bottom in aluminum foil to ensure the batter doesn't leak out in the oven, or place the pan on a baking sheet.

[@Jennifer-oz8ec]

Thank you for this recipe. I used the same quantity of coconut oil instead of butter and a chia egg. Would this have caused the bread to be much more dense?

[@tabascosauce3168]

instead of using coconut oil, try whipping shortening. the oil can't hold air bubbles but the shortening can

[@sweettia6640]

Baking soda? Is it not baking powder that gives a rise?

[@taeswinterbear5090]

Many people call it baking soda but it still means baking powder despite the actually thing baking soda

[@Grayald]

Totally going to necro this. Baking soda reacts with molasses to produce leavening.

[@xxxx-dl2tq]

I have no clue, but I just made this recipe tonight with baking soda and it worked perfectly. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@haydenlloyd3377]

Don’t forget to serve with the dusting of cinnamon like the video says. It makes a difference. 🙂

[@wenli7581]

I dont have molasses

[@greekyogurt2855]

Use honey

[@ataylor3202]

Don't know what this is, I'll use honey 🍯

[@lehongvan2002]

I dont have cloves, so is it still ok ???

[@allrecipes]

Hi there Vân Lê Hồng, you can certainly make this recipe without the cloves. Enjoy :)

[@SH125]

All purpose flour? The recipe does not specify

[@allrecipes]

Hi there, yes this recipe is using all-purpose flour. Enjoy :)

[@SH125]

Baked this lastnight and I'm enjoying it right now! Thanks for this recipe!

[@shreyamjd3596]

What can I use instead of molasses?

[@sweettia6640]

Honey

[@442oonshaaland0]

Ha

[@flabbybabby]

This isn't gingerbread, it's ginger cake.

[@xxxx-dl2tq]

This is gingerbread in its purest form, lol. You’re thinking of ginger snaps.

[@retablair49]

In the south we call it molasses bread. No matter what it’s called it tastes great!

[@joeblues2000]

My mom cleans the floors with a sifter

[@1006kathleen]

[@Royjenkins305]

[@deborahanthony3401]

So disappointed. This cake was very dry.

[@paapanzoley7300]
