  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the gingerbread at a moderate temperature. A low temperature will make the gingerbread too moist, while a high temperature will make it too dry. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake the gingerbread. Overbaking will make the gingerbread dry and crumbly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the gingerbread should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the gingerbread cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
