I’ve made this beautiful cake twice now for dinner parties. It is the best gingerbread cake recipe I have ever tried. I followed the instructions exactly, and it turned out perfect both times. Thank you for this beautiful recipe!

Do you have nutritional information? Also the middle sank any ideas what I did wrong?

Where do I start? First of all, I questioned why I had to line my pan with parchment paper. I have a non stick pan and I considered not lining it. After some back and forth with myself, I decided to line the pan. I followed the directions exactly as written. This is one of the best gingerbread cakes that I can ever remember having. Ever! My mom has made gingerbread cake since I was a little girl (I am in my late 60’s now). She always served it with a hot lemon butter sauce. I made a lemon butter sauce to go with mine yesterday too. My son loves gingerbread anything and my daughter in law was on the fence about it. They both inhaled their pieces of cake and took half of what was left of the cake home with them. This will be my go to gingerbread cake recipe for the rest of my life. I am absolutely thrilled that I found this recipe. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Why do you use parchment paper? I’m afraid the cake will stick to the paper. Is it just a preference?

Plan to make this for a Christmas party, gingerbread cake was always my favorite treat during the holidays! But in my family, the BEST way to serve it is hot out of the oven, with applesauce on top with a dollop of whipped cream. Try it, it’s SO good!

This is so good! I added a little cardamon and orange zest. Will be making this again!

Can I sift the dry ingredients?

Any suggestions for making this gluten free other than swapping out the flour?

I would like to try this recipe but as another person commented, I weigh all my dry ingredients. Two cups of flour would be 240 grams to 250 grams, not 184 grams. When you make this recipe, do you measure out two cups of flour? Or do you weigh the flour and if so, use 184 grams?
Thank you!
