Simple and Easy Gingerbread Cake Recipe<\/h1>\n\n\nJump to Recipe<\/a>\n\n\n

The first time I had gingerbread was on our first vacation together. We drove to Maine and ate gingerbread at the Peggy’s Cove lighthouse. It felt so romantic to sit at a table by the ocean and eat spicy, warm, gingerbread fresh from the oven with cream. I wanted to rekindle the cozy domestic feeling I had when we shared that first slice of gingerbread together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think this gingerbread cake recipe fit the bill perfectly. It uses molasses as the base. Molasses can overpower the ginger in a bread recipe. Using a fresh can of ginger power helps balance the molasses and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like our experience at the restaurant at Peggy’s Cove, a great way to serve warm gingerbread is with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Cool Whip makes a good substitute if you don’t have whipped cream on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another delicious way to enjoy this recipe is with applesauce on the side. Gingerbread and applesauce taste fantastic together. The sweetness of the applesauce offsets some of the bitterness of the molasses and adds moisture to the gingerbread cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
