Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use dark molasses instead of regular molasses.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your baking pan before adding the batter, to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Gingerbread cake is a classic holiday treat that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its warm spices and moist texture, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a festive dessert, give gingerbread cake a try.
