Do You Have Molasses?

No molasses gingerbread is super easy. If you don’t have any molasses on hand and there’s a big snowstorm outside, use this molasses substitute:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
Mix them together and you’re good to go. In fact, if you’re not a huge fan of the flavor of molasses, which can be robust, caramel-y, and smoky, just make no-molasses gingerbread!

Which loaf pan?
I bake all my loaves in this 1 lb loaf pan.
Can I make this as a gingerbread cake?
You can absolutely make this as a cake! It slices up beautifully and looks so pretty with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Bake it in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan.
