I was actually looking for a cinnamon cake when I came across this one. The spices seemed a little heavy for summer in Texas (104 F), so I did a little switcheroo.....2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger and 1/2 tsp cardamom (for a citrus hint); I also added some orange zest (about a tbsp.). I LOVE the texture of this cake, and it is so moist! The above flavor changes made it much more summery. I will make the original recipe when it actually feels like fall/winter, but thank you for this recipe. It will be much better than most spice cakes come colder temps.

Thank you for posting this. I was looking for a quick, easy but tasty ginger cake recipe to try and this is it. It turned out so good it´s almost all gone! Very light and moist and if you can bare to wait a couple of days the flavour improves. Have passed the recipe onto my daughter in law and have to make another cake for my Spanish friends (I live in Andalucia).
