Today was one of those days that I just craved something from back home. It was a chilly and cloudy day and I was wandering around my kitchen trying to find inspiration for something to bake. I opened up my baking cupboard and the first thing I saw was a little carton of Maritime Molasses and a tiny tin of pumpkin pie spice. I knew immediately what I wanted to make.
I remember througout my childhood we always went to visit Peggy’s Cove (a famous Nova Scotia tourist destination with famous lighthouse). We always stopped at the Peggy’s Cove restaurant to have a piece of their famous Gingerbread.
So today that’s just what I made. It’s an easy cake to bake and the sauce whips up in minutes. It is very moist and rich with a tiny hint of the spicy ginger. My kids love it and we almost managed to finish the whole cake. Shame on us.
