Preheat oven to 350 and grease & flour 3-8" round cake pans. Mix flour, dinger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk molasses with 1 cup water in 4 cup glass measuring cup. In large bowl w/ mixer at low speed, beat margarine with sugar until blended. Increase to high and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl. Reduce speed to medium low and add eggs one at a time beating well after each. At low speed alternately add flour mix and molasses mix and beat until well blended. Pour batter into pans and bake 25-30 minutes.


The recipe says to ice it with a basic cream cheese frosting with a little lemon peel in it, but I think it would be too rich. I have never iced it, we always just eat it with some cool whip or whipped cream--or even plain. The last one I made with dark molasses as that was what I had on hand and it was just as good, just a little richer! I usually make it in a 9x13 pan, of course just watch your baking times!
