Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Spoon into prepared pans.

  • In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and butter. Add lemon peel. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until blended. Place one cake on a serving platter. Spread with about 2/3 cup frosting; repeat layers twice. Refrigerated until serving. Yield: 10-12 servings.
