OMG Lori, My grandson and I just made this cake, "I would call this GODS cake, it is so good, I mean really good, really" He is 11 years old he bakes and cooks with me a lot. When we are done, I ask him to give it grade and remarks. 1,000,000 x10 - grade. Extraordinary - remarks. He is home schooled, this is todays homec lesson. So, as my husband would say, " Lori, My Dear. you have outdone yourself again." The cake was outstanding. I am in love with Mr. Brown, Just the facts Mam. Thank you both for a wonderful video. Judy from Wisconsin PS I Hope my grandson and his grandchildren will be making" GODS CAKE" fifty years from now, with this handwritten recipe from Lori Brown, and Memories.

You are so what we need in our lives, Jesus, family and love! Thank you!

"and that's your medical news for today". Unfortunately I had just taken a drink of water and spit it all over myself. I enjoy your videos tremendously. I would give anything to be able to go back in time when people were kind and genuine like both of y'all. Can't wait to bake the cake. God bless you both.

My grandma used to make what she called Poor Mans Cupcakes which is similar to this recipe. She used leftover coffee instead of water and added raisins but the spices are the same. I still make it to this day. I love old fashioned recipes.

I could sit and watch your videos all day.

This takes me back. Also, I love that Mr. Brown did the research for us.

A great cake video for all of us vintage recipe lovers! I use a lot of molasses when I make cowboy beans and I add it to commercial baked beans to intensify the flavor. I want to mention that a little molasses added to granulated sugar makes brown sugar (in case beginning cooks do not know how to make their own brown sugar.)

I love how you say that grandmother made the cake often because it was grandpa's favorite. So nice to be reminded of a time when women spent time in their kitchens making food that showed love for their husbands and families even after years of marriage. ❤❤❤

I so enjoy all your videos, they remind me of family, love and God.....it gets no better than that!

I watched your video on the books you bought at garage sales. I have the the Betty Crocker’s picture cook book but I couldn’t find a date either but I did find that the book was given to my aunt as a gift in 1951 and it cost $2.95. My mom inherited the book and pasted other receipts on the blank pages. Bless her sole she passed away at the age of 101. My sister and I was going through all of her cook books and found one my grandmother had Watkins Cook Book dated 1945 and it cost $1.50. We found out my grandfather use to sale Watkins products. I love looking at all the old receipts and I’m with you some I never heard of and I’m 77 years old. Love your videos they bring back memories of how we were raised and how I miss those days. God Bless

My Mom used to make gingerbread cake and served it with “hard sauce”. You don’t see that used at all anymore. Time to get bakin’!

I love watching you & your husband you bring back the way I grew up. thank you

You can also have blackstrap sorgham, which is different from blackstrap molasses. Sorgham is a different type of sugar cane, and the best molasses is from ribbon cane (although plain sugar cane is more often found now). When I was little, we would go to different places around that would make the different types using a horse or mule to grind them cane. The would run the juice through a set of troughs over fires to boil it. When it reached the end, it was thick and sweet. We used to sneak and get a little bit of cane and chew on it, it was delicious!

My Yankee Nana used to make this for me. Warm from the oven. Fresh whipped cream. I can smell it coming out of the oven. She’d say “Foofie, your spiced cake is ready.” 😍

I think this is what I used to eat growing up in the 70’s I’m from England and we called it black syrup. We used light syrup in it also and I think my nanny called it Dark Jamaican syrup cake. You can’t buy it now. They replaced it with something far too sweet. I’m going to try this recipe. Thank you you you and your lovely husband for the information. What beautiful home you have a beautiful marriage to from me looking at a few of your videos. I hope god blesses you both to a long happy life together. Probably the sweetest coupe I’ve seen on KZfaq and I’m an American KZfaq channel addict :) with love and prayers from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I like the fact that there is medical research to back up the eating of this cake! Another excellent video Ms Lori. x

Oh that gorgeous cake is just begging for mounds of sweetened whipped cream piled over the top! Looks delicious!!!

Been on low carb since Feb lost.96 lbs but come Nov 11 i will have a stack came thank you love to watch

Mom was not into baking or desserts. If she made gingerbread cake, it was a 9" square or loaf cake. She usually sprinkled a little powdered sugar on top, and sometimes she put on a doily and sprinkled on the powdered sugar, lifting it and it had a fancy pattern on it. Rarely, she would put a dollop of whipped cream or a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I have to say the whipped cream was my favorite. I have not made one for many years and I am way overdue for one. ;D Thank you for sharing the recipe!

Really enjoyed this. Now I know why my mama who was born in 1927 and was the baby of nine others before her, never liked Molasses.. Her mama had them take a tsp or tblsp. I can't remember which-- every night before bed for the vitamins. For her it was always medicine..It must have been really bitter and different from what I and my children like.. Mom is no longer with us. I miss her every single day.. My babies will be 45 next month and the oldest will be 49 in Dec. of this year and this month my husband and I will be married for 50 years. The profile picture is me and my daughter when she was in high school. She had fixed my hair.. and I just like this picture.../really liked the medical news from your hubby and love the picture of the two of you when younger..

You wonderful couple...you are like Mommy and Daddy Christmas! Everything you share withe people, and your KZfaq family. God Bless you! Thank you.

Oh my, poke holes in it and pour that glaze over it! Looks yummy!!

I have a whole gallon of molasses, I was wondering what to do with it. The elderly on my block I live on basically expects a bunch of goodies at Christmas time, here we go, this cake, they’ll love it 🥰

I so enjoy watching your videos, you are living the life I dreampt if as a child, farm life, homesteading, country. Your recipes remind me of both my Grandma's, one of German descent, one full Norwegian. Both were labor intensive in their cooking and baking especially my Norwegian Grandma. Lefse, klube, krumkaka.....

My Grandpa Walsh made great gingerbread cake. Thank you for bringing back such sweet memories.

Oh my goodness I wish I had a big slice of that beautiful cake. I know it was good. Tell Mr Brown thank you for the medical lesson. 😄. Thank you for sharing Lori. God bless y’all.

I remember the smell of the house when my Mama would make this cake. She would serve with a lemon sauce. WOW..thanks for the memory

My aunt Agnes used to make molasses cookies. It was such a treat to go to her farm because we always knew Aunt Aggie always had a stash of molasses cookies.

I made this recipe for my great grandma , she has a hard time eating solid foods but she really liked this one, it was also my first time making and eating a molasses Gingerbread cake,ı also loved it. Amazing recipe😍

My Mom used to make this for "us" while we were growing up, but I do believe she made it more for herself, lol, and included us, my Dad, myself and 2 siblings!!! My Mom and Dad are gone now, but us kids still love this!!! Her extra special way of serving it, hot and cold, was to add a good serving of cold applesauce over the top....never any frosting! She would make it to serve with an evening meal and come supper the next night we would each get one more piece and then it was gone!!! Of course, it didn't help that we had all had a slice for lunch that day as well!! LOL!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'all!!!

I like the research that went into this.😃 It looks delicious. Sometimes you don't want those cakes to be overly sweet.

Dear Ms Lori…….hope all is well……please gargle with warm salt water whenever you have a sore/dry throat……..and drink tea with real ginger in it for your tummy……we love you. Sandy and Ed in CT……God Bless.

That was just the thing I was looking for. My Mama,used to make it and it was an old family recipe. She never wrote it anywhere. I've been trying to get it like hers and it never was quite right. I didn't use the black strap molasses. That was the problem. 😄She did add raisins sometimes. She made the maple syrup glaze for it with a little lemon juice added. If company was coming, she would put flaked coconut on top. I loved that cake. This is just perfect. Tell Mr. Brown, on really cold days when I was a kid, she would heat milk and add molasses to drink with homemade cinnamon toast cause it was good for you. Thank you for bringing back lovely memories.

My Grandma used to stir molasses into a glass of milk and we would have it that way...also molasses cookies. Yum!

Oh, Lori, when I saw the little gingerbread man at the beginning of your video my eyes filled up. I remembered my mother used to make them. We always had some kind of home baked goodies for a snack when we came home from school. She made gingerbread too. I prefer old fashioned simple cake without Icing. My mother didn't use blackstrap molasses but I do because it's so good for you and I like a strong molasses taste. I even put it on my oatmeal. (I wrote all that before Mr. Brown told us about his research!) my mother used to make cough syrup with molasses too that I still make. It has one cup of molasses and about a third of a cup of apple cider vinegar. Put in a medium yellow onion ciut in big pieces. Put it on the stove , bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer uncovered until the onion is soft and the mixture is reduced by about one third. Onion and vinegar are natural antibiotics and the molasses coats your throat when it tickles and makes you cough. It works real good, and you can take as much as you want, as often as you need, without side effects like store bought cough medicine. I will try your maple glaze, sounds delicious! Thank you, and God bless you and Danny!

Don't worry about the butter! The French only have 3 ingredients in their cooking....butter,butter and more butter!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

Love your old fashioned recipes! Brings back so many memories. My grandma did all her amazing cooking on a wood stove. Just wondering if you or anyone has ever heard of something she made-coffee syrup. She’d use her left over coffee and add some brown sugar to it and make a syrup that was so good to sop her homemade bread in. Yum ! Keep the recipes coming. Blessings on your day.

I thank you for the recipe. It turned out delicious. I added a couple yummies. Crushed walnuts and I baked it in a bunt pan. My neighbors are used to me cooking Latin foods in my outdoor kitchen but they called and said what are you baking. Smells heavenly

Molasses was what we gave the cattle on the farm and they loved it. It’s not something I have in my pantry (yet) or have ever used but with all of these delicious recipes using it, I have just added it to my shopping list. Thanks Lori & Mr Brown 😊

We always used Brer Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses. Raised on it since I was a child , 67 years ago. I, also, buy Grandma's Blackstrap Molasses. We just sprinkled powder sugar on the cake after it cooled. Thanks for the video! I will try your recipe at some point. I, also, have two recipes that I would love to send to you and have you try them. One of them may be a recipe that another subscriber requested a few videos back. Again, thanks for all your wonderful content!

Thank you for sharing your lovely cake. A pleasure to see.

I really liked the medical news and it did help with understanding molasses thank you so much and the cake looks wonderful. I remember my dad talking about the use of blackstrap molasses on the farm not sure where. I sure learned a lot of good things from you in baking. Some I had forgotten all about and a lot of new ones. In your video traveling through Hardy. Looks like the town I grew up in Lepanto. Great memories there My daddy was the mortician there in the late 1940's and he drove the ambulance. He was the one that picked up Johnny Cash's brother Jack Cash when he got hurt with the electric saw. My dad told me Jack Cash was at school when he got hurt. They never tell it that way in the movies or documentary's but that was where he was when my dad picked him up. He was severely hurt my dad said. My great grandmother and her family lived across the road from the Cash's in Dyess . I love your videos. Thank you so much. I know you both are very busy and probably not easy to add another thing to do. So I appreciate it.

Thank you guys for taking the time to teach the old recipes in a way that is understandable. I love watching your videos.

I just love watching y’all you are just precious and your husband seems full of sass! That cake looks delicious and I loved the lesson on molasses, I remember my grandma always had a bottle in her cupboard, it was super dark but I have no idea what kind it was!!!

I love your show and i'm hooked. My people are from Arkansas too and I'm in California.I love your downhome recipes and personnality. I haven't seen this type of cooking since my grandma and I thank you

My mother used to make, at least once a week, for my daddy and me, what she called East Texas syrup cake. It was sooo good! You must have the syrup made from East Texas sugar cane. The trouble with that now days is that no one raises the sugar cane here anymore....they have all gone "citified"! In addition, all the syrup mills have closed down. I graduated high school with a guy, named James Jennings, here in Lufkin, who had one of the last sugar cane mills in the county, but stopped doing it about 5 years ago because he said he got too old and it was a lot of hard, day long work whenever he did it. Of course, it must be done in the fall of the year after the sugar cane comes in and when the weather has cooled down some, because standing over that boiling hot cooking vat of syrup is a hard, hot task. That kind of syrup makes the best cake and pie, too. My daddy did not like to eat nuts in baked goods, so my Momma would make him syrup pies, just like you makes pecan pies, but leave out the pecans, and they were very good! I had no brothers or sisters, but some of my fondest memories of my childhood were getting off the school bus to the smell of those cakes and pinto beans cooking with ham or bacon coming down the road to me before I ever reached the house! Wonderful memories.....Thanks for bringing them back to me..............I love your's and Mr. Danny's video channel! NITA

I love your channel, you and Mr. Brown are the sweetest people. My grandmother used to make molasses cake with black strap molasses and coffee. The house smelled so good. Thank you for the recipe!

Hi y’all.. thx Mr.Brown for the info. Beautiful cake. We need smellovision... lol. Thx and have a wonderful day. ✌️

One of my little boys(that's 45 years old now!) was kind underweight and sickly. An older lady friend of mine told me to mix up a bit of molasses in cold milk and let him drink some every day. Well, he really liked it and it sure helped his appetite. He picked up weight and even his red blood cell count got better. Just one of the old fashioned ways that helped me raise my kids.

You absolutely made my day. I adore gingerbread but my family doesn't. I'm going to try your recipe and eat the whole thing 🤣 I've never tried black strap but I hear such great things about it. Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh boy! Molasses and cake! You have my full undivided attention. I only hope I can pull this off for the holidays.

You have probably heard this before, but I think you should put out a cookbook. Love your videos! You are blessed to have a husb with good humor!

I just finished a book about eastern Kentucky , “ the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.”and I found your channel today, perfect timing. It was a book that you couldn’t put down. Now I have a source for wonderful old long forgotten recipes of Appalachia.It was a God Wink. Love your channel.

This looks delicious ! We love gingerbread!

The molasses and spices have properties in them that help guard against sicknesses. My mother told me about a lady that lived on a neighboring farm when her and my dad were first married that had several children and she said she was never out of Gingerbread cake so they would stay healthy. Enjoyed the video. God Bless

Molasses/Gingerbread cake is one of my faves! I stumbled on your video by accident (although it was meant to be 🤗) a month or so ago & I've watched all of your videos in one day. I couldn't stop watching them, now I'm re-watching. You & Mr. Brown are adorable! I come from a long line of farming people both in the mid-west & the south you both live as I grew up. I miss that life style. You both bring back so many wonderful memories for me. Love & Blessings to you both.

I can remember Mother making gingerbread cake and we loved it hot with butter.

Watched your preparation of the molasses ginger bread cake👍👍👍 oh my oh my...I will be making it mid-August. Genuinely enjoyed your video. You folks strike a cord in me, reminding me of how my Gran, mom and my sis and I worked together in the kitchen before all holidays, cooking, decorating, cleaning, washing in our old wringer washer, hanging clothes on clothes line, oh how I miss those glorious days of the 40’s and 50’s. Thank you so much for sharing your life on your homestead. 🙏💗

This was a favorite dessert in our house. Always served warm with homemade applesauce and a dollop of whipped cream. Nothing better. Thank you.

Neighbors used to come to our house for gingerbread, homemade vanilla ice cream and lemon curd. Everyonebrpught the ingredients and all helped produce the treats!

I love gingerbread cake and cookies. I usually add fresh grated ginger as well for some extra punch. For the cake, my favourite accompaniment is whipped cream!

I love molasses with biscuits and butter too! My grandmother made and sold molasses when she was young to help feed her large family. What I wouldn’t give to have a batch of that with some of her biscuits 🙂

Thank you! My favorite is gingerbread cake is made with pears, upside down style!

Love you’re videos. Love the old fashioned looking kitchen.

Oh Miss Lori...I just found your gingerbread cake recipe! I am thrilled, as this is my favorite cake, still warm, with lots of butter.

I am so enjoying your videos. Looking forward to the next one. Love and best wishes from England.

Love molasses and gingerbread and your videos! 💖

Hello Ms Lori. I’m new to your channel viewers. I just love you and Mr. Brown. Y’all are such a lovely couple. I pray for continued blessings for you both. With this cake it brings tears of joy for me because my grandma made this for us in the 1960s. I never got the recipe but I remembered the cake. Thank you for this. I’m fixing for our next family get-together and see who else will remember our Big Mama and this cake. 🥰

Thank you so much Ms Lori, this took me back to when I was a little girl. I remember my Mom making this cake, it was sooo good, I can almost smell it. I really want to try it as I have never made it before, blessings sweet friend ❤

Thank you so much ! This is great! Mr. Brown looked like he enjoyed it very much! Love you!

Love watching you!

Thank you Mr.Brown for that wonderful info, Thank you both!!!

I made this and serve it at Sunday lunch. Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing this recipe. We all love molasses so it was a definite hit!

I loved you're coconut pie!

Mrs Lori..I just cant stop watching you..just wish i lived close to you so we could visit. Do you ever make personal appearances in your state. You are so kind and genuine. Thank you for mentioning God as you close your videos. We are a blessed people.

I love molasses cake, but had forgotten about it! Thanks for the reminder! I'm SO making some!

That looks so good! Yummy! Blessings❣️

I can't wait to make this cake! The fragrance of molasses smells so good.

Oops hit it too fast! Lovely cake. I love molasses! As a child we ate that & sorghum on biscuits & homemade bread. Such memories! I use blackstrap molasses when I make gingerbread cookies or molasses cookies. I haven’t made a cake for a long, long time. It’s about time! Thank you Mrs Brown for this wonderful recipe & Mr Brown on the education of molasses! Love you guys!

Ms. Lori , I love gingerbread . My grandmother made this when I was a child .For the toppling she made a lemon type pudding and serve it with a dollop of it on top . So yummy.

Grew up putting whipped cream on our gingerbread cake. Winter favorite😋

I LOVE this recipe Mrs. Lori! My grandma swore by Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses. If you didn’t have that type specifically, then why bother making the recipe. This was very nostalgic for me and I thank you for that beautiful memory 😊

Thank You Ms Lori, i love this recipe, i make gingerbread houses for Christmas with my granddaughters and I think this recipe will work wonderful, I do have a mold for the houses, and it will work wonderful, Bless You and Thank You again.

Ty very much for the recipe and all the added information you both included. Great help.

Yum that looks good !

Good with vanilla icecream and whip cream good in the winter my mom made this she was born in 1921

My grandmother made this ! I’m so glad I found your channel . Memories are the best . Miss her dearly

I can't wait to try making this one. Gingerbread is my husband's favorite.

This looks wonderful! I do love to watch your videos...you are taking me back to my roots!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful cake, blessing to you

We're having a cool night in NYC tonight so I decided to give this a try it came out great! I served it with some sweetened whipped cream. My mom would sometimes make this cake in a cake pan shaped like a gingerbread man.

We baked ours in a cast iron skillet. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Keep the videos coming. Love them and you two.

Wow, this is mouth watering! Perfect for the upcoming fall season! I can't wait to try this. Thanks so much for sharing! Love ya! XO ❤💕😘❤❤

Yum! That cake looked delicious! I'm saving the recipe to make on a cold winter day. Thank you for sharing.

This couple is amazing, God bless them.

I love you to death Ms. Lori. You are so real. this cake sounds amazing. God Bless You and Mr. Brown.

Reminds me of childhood . Thank you for sharing

Love it. Mother made a fantastic gingerbread with sweet golden molasses, sugar, butter and sour cream. We like it spicy and use more powdered ginger than the recipe calls for. Warm from the oven and buttered with unsalted butter, it's fabulous. Cold, it's great with unsalted butter, cream cheese or heavy whipped cream.

Love ginger bread cake with whipped cream!

I just love you guys. Thank you Mr Brown for you Medical News and to you Mrs Brown for all your good cooking. Just YUM!
