ingredients to make Homemade Gingerbread

What’s in Gingerbread?

Molasses: Select medium or darkish molasses over mild for the deepest, richest molasses taste. I’d keep away from utilizing blackstrap molasses as it might probably overpower the flavors within the cake and received’t produce as moist of outcomes.

Spices: Similar to different spice cakes, contemporary is greatest, so verify the expiration dates on all the elements for the very best outcomes.

Have a Little Enjoyable With It!

Combine festive dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or currants into the batter.
Sweeten it up much more by including a handful of mini chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips.
Prime with sprinkles, orange zest, or a drizzle of royal icing to show this cake right into a decadent dessert!
