Directions
Gingerbread Cake (Spicy), Adapted from a Gourmet recipe, this spicy gingerbread originated from the Gramercy Tavern It’s excellent warm, and even better after one day If you like a deep, spicy gingerbread, you might try this one!, Love gingerbread Made this with espresso coffee instead of stout I made this 3 times in one week – once in two loaves as Christmas gifts, twice just for us! Used cooking molasses the second time – it does make a difference to the taste Sprayed and floured the non- stick pans, had no trouble getting them out Will make again and again , A good recipe, but unfortunate choice of pans — I’d recommend using a regular baking pan vs the bundt pan This cake is just too moist to keep its shape Even after letting it cool slightly on a rack, running a knife along the edges, and carefully turning it over, the top came off our cake Very unfortunate when it’s a holiday cake for presentation I’m not sure why recipe sites are so keen to favor looks (and looks that you’ll get 5% of the time maybe if you’re lucky) over function
