This is a good moist cake, and simple to make. Spicy and tangy, but not sweet. I used self raising flour, without extra raising ingredients and as I'm in the UK, it was treacle instead of molasses. My spice measurements were generous and I didn't have as much marmalade as the recipe called for, but it seemed fine. If I was making it again (which is possibly) I'd maybe add some chunks of preserved ginger.
