Gingerbread Cake – the cake of the season!
I know Christmas is over but hundreds of you asked for this recipe on Instagram so here it is!!
My Gingerbread Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was a huge hit for Christmas – like everyone was FLOORED after their first bite.
It’s easy to throw together in one bowl and you can always use store-bought Miss Jones Cream Cheese frosting – that’s what I do to make my life a little easier, plus the ingredients are pretty good!
I love this cake because it tastes like Christmas. The molasses tastes is absolutely fire and you’re friends/family will ask you to bring dessert for every event in the future. Baker be warned!
SAVE this recipe for Christmas to come. Or Christmas in July for those who celebrate like I did with my parents growing up. 😉
