This is not a sweet cake! It is a snack cake. If you want it sweeter, replace half of the molasses with another liquid sweetener.
Gingerbread option: increase powdered ginger to 2 teaspoons.

I made this cake tonight and it was delicious!!!! Moist, chewy and just sweet enough! So quick and easy as well. Thanks so much for the great recipe! 🙂
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Totally delicious. The whole family, kids included, enjoyed this. Super nice with a mug of black tea.
I was out of clove so added a bit more ginger. I can def see how the clove would make it taste even better.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
