Homemade Gingerbread Cake
Ah…. Gingerbread Cake… It just screams ‘AUTUMN’ to me. Autumn days are the best time for baking, and there are so many delicious autumn-y recipes that I love making. One is this quick and easy gingerbread cake. It takes just a few minutes to make and every bite really does taste of autumn with it’s sweet, ginger-ness. It’s one of my favourite things to whip up on a grey, rainy day. The best thing about it is that it gets better after sitting for a day or two – kept in an air -tight tin, it will become moist and sticky with time. Gingerbread cake is perfect with your morning latte.
