Moist Gingerbread Cake image

I love this cake--and it IS indeed moist. From Pamela Westland's "Celebrating Christmas." It is so easy to make. I baked it in a giant gingerbread man pan and decorated with colorful dragees--beautiful! You might consider doubling the recipe, since it makes a small cake.

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise and it was completely inedible.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out really dense. Not sure what went wrong.

This is the most amazing gingerbread cake I've ever made! It's so moist and flavorful, and the molasses gives it a wonderful depth of flavor. I've made it twice now, and it's been a hit both times! ?
