Molasses Spice Ginger Cake Recipe | Glen And Friends Cooking

This Molasses Spice Ginger Cake recipe is made with the leftover ginger form our Ginger Beer recipe. Filled with the subtle flavours of ginger and spice, this super moist and rich cake recipe is a great way to use up the leftovers form another recipe. You need to take all of the whole spices out of the leftover ginger beer mixture, before adding it to the cake.
