Molasses pie
Description
The baked good is easy and quick to make. I baked the pie in a 20 cm springform pan. I added maltose rye molasses to the filling, but you can use any molasses you have on hand right now. Fresh ginger can be replaced with ground ginger — add it to taste. If you like, you can omit the cardamom. Serve with tea or coffee.
