I don't have a recipe as mine is a light one, (both in colour and texture) but the addition of molasses to the recipe is what makes it dark. You would have to alter the sugar content, if you wanted to adjust an existing recipe

If you use baking soda and acid as the rising agent the colour will be darker than if you use baking powder.
