Didn't have quite enough molasses so made up the diff with cane syrup, which I think tastes like molasses but the hubby disagrees. My pears were at the bottom but i pushed 'em under the batter before popping the cake in the oven. Perhaps Gourmet did this too and didn't mention it? Made this Saturday and it was lovely.

I thought 1/4 cup of ginger would be terribly overpowering so I shorted it just a little and was sorry I did. What a lovely cake to make. Delicious!! Absolutely amazing hot out of the oven all hot, spicy and meltingly tender. Yay, thanks! I made this tonight.

Jamessal, who? I've never met the man, though I hear he's a rapscallion. (Ha!) Yes, Jim is my own personal guinea pig and I'm so happy to learn that he's been passing this recipe around on LH! Glad that you liked it! I don't think you miss anything subbing dark syrup for molasses but I do love the allspice in there. You can make your own version of allspice by mixing equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and a little less than an equal part of black pepper. Just mix up a batch and use it whenever a recipe calls for allspice. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Arthur,

Jamessal? Jamessal, who? I’ve never met the man, though I hear he’s a rapscallion. (Ha!) Yes, Jim is my own personal guinea pig and I’m so happy to learn that he’s been passing this recipe around on LH! Glad that you liked it!

" I’ll have to get his book." My book! Hat gave it a little plug about a year ago: http://www.languagehat.com/archives/002979.php I'm of course terribly embarrassed by it at this point; I hadn't been writing very long when I wrote it. Then again, it's unseemly to apologize for your own work (I just can't help myself), and I'm not one to argue with Hat (especially when he's paying me compliments!), and I still do think it is a fun story. Hell, I'd offer to send you a copy, but I have no idea what book rate to Norway costs. Do you? Is it cheap? Feel free to email me. Damn straight she KNOWS jamessal — we live together!

I'll have to get his book. I hope you don't get any spam here; you should hear the swearing that goes on over at Language Hat when he sees all the spam. Ah, now I see you know Jamessal.

My fourteen-year-old daughter made it for us yesterday, and we had it for tea. We all were so impressed, thank you very much for the recipe. I like the spicy-hotness and as you said, it's not too sweet. We live in Norway, and I couldn't get hold of allspice, nor molasses but for that we used "dark syrup" which tasted fairly similar. I'm getting my mother to send some allspice for next time. It looks exactly like the photograph which is very satisfying for my daughter the cook!

I just came across your blog while looking for chestnut recipes (will be trying out that soup you posted), and spent quite a bit of time looking around at your other recipes. This is such a beautiful site! I really love it. Anyway, since i saw you mention that you recently changed some of the code, I just wanted to let you know that I love the look. Will definitely keep coming back! Hi!
