In reply to Sophie. Hi Sophie! I would do the 50/50 split. I think that should work well. Blackstrap tends to be very strong so the golden syrup will help tone that down and make it more similar to the fancy molasses I use.

Hey! I'm struggling to find the right molasses here in Dubai. I can get from overseas but I need it sooner than it can be delivered. I do have molasses sugar (caster sugar granule size) or I have blackstrap and golden syrup in my pantry to do 50/50 split. Which would you recommend I go for? If the sugar option, what weight do you suggest? I don't know how to turn it to liquid. Making the cake in 2 days time, hopefully you catch this query asap thanks so much!

The piping and general cake deco is outstanding.

In reply to Christina. Hi Christina! I talk about this in the post: Do not use Blackstrap molasses in the cake. It is quite a bit stronger than the fancy molasses I’ve used here and will overpower the flavor. If that’s all you can find I recommend using half the amount of molasses and adding an equal part of golden syrup.

I can’t find fancy molasses in my area. What can I substitute it with?

In reply to Olivia. I know. I cannot decide which to make for Christmas so thought I might combine them.

Hi Maggie! Not with this exact one but I have here: https://livforcake.com/caramel-gingerbread-cake/ and it was sooooo delicious so I think it would be a total hit with the GBL Cake too!

I just wondered if you have ever used the caramel sauce with this latte gingerbread
