  I thought this was going to be a great recipe but looking at the ingredients I haven't a clue how much butter, sugar or treacle is require. Is 1c meant to mean a cup, but that sounds too much treacle. I think I'll give this a miss and look elsewhere for a recipe.

  Sorry, can't trust cup measurements - how about giving quantities in grams / ounces? Will have to look elsewhere for a recipe ...by the way, 190 degrees is gas mark 5.

  Please could someone at the website decipher the measurements – most people use imperial or metric and all the comments above seem to have been ignored. Many of your recipes are brilliant, not least the wonderful Cherry Bakewell Cake, but some, like the gingerbread recipe above, require editing. Thanks
