SUPER MOIST GINGERBREAD CAKE RECIPE – GINGERBREAD SNACKING CAKE RECIPE
I have been eyeing on this cake for quite sometime ever since i came across in nigella christmas cookbook. I wanted to try it so badly finally i made in couple days back. I don’t know about you, but I have a addiction towards spiced cakes. Spices works beautiful in baked goodies specially in cakes. And this is the answer for that.
The cake is just perfect, you can never get better recipe than this. The cake is so moist, light and mildly spiced and delicious..It tasted wonderful warm, enjoy it with some whipped cream or just a dusting of some icing sugar. So good for this time of the year..
