Gingerbread Cake

Gingerbread Cake

Everyday

Gingerbread cake is a traditional spiced dessert characterized by its rich, dark color and distinctive blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and molasses. Unlike its crispier cookie counterpart, this cake version features a moist, dense crumb and deeper molasses flavor. Typically made with whole wheat or all-purpose flour and vegetable oil or butter, it's a relatively hearty dessert particularly associated with winter holidays and cold-weather comfort food.
