Gingerbread Cake Gingerbread Cake
This cake is inspired by the amazing Chef John @foodwishes. This cake is moist, dense and fudgy. The only kinda cake which I would eat, as you should have known by now. I love the wonderful aroma of gingerbread spice, especially during final baking process. If I were to compare my previous pumpkin cake and this gingerbread cake, I would definitely go for gingerbread.What really got me is the hint of molasses aftertaste. It lingers at the back of my mouth for quite awhile which leaves me wanting for more. Pls do not use fresh grated ginger. It will overpower everything else (speaking from experience). Just use regular ground ginger. I also added a pinch of Chinese 5 spice for that oomph undertone flavor.I also decided to add a touch of lemon glaze to bring freshness to the cake. You can of cos serve the cake as it is, or you can go the extra mile and serve it with ice cream and tuile. Pls do not be intimidated by the look of it. It is actually fairly simple and easy. If all hell breaks loose, try again cos at the end of the day, it is just a kitchen fail down the bin. What you gain is experience, which is priceless. Okay, enuff of ranting and let's get started with the recipe. Daniel Lim -

Gingerbread Gingerbread
I use blackstrap molasses. It gives the gingerbread richer flavor. Also, for a treat, I will chop up 2 tablespoons candied ginger and use real butter. silvermist69 -

Light and very moist and full of spices, this gingerbread is a holiday favorite. Don't let the addition of black pepper and cayeene stop you from adding it, it brings just a slight warmth that sets this gingerbread to a new level. Pair it with whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream for a amazing holds treat! fenway -
