Delicious and easy cake for this holidays season. This is a homemade gingerbread cake drizzled in pure maple syrup and frosted with smooth, light cream cheese frosting made with flavors to compliment the cake.
It’s gingerbread season! Well, you know, eggnog, peppermint and gingerbread season. I’m actually still coming off of peppermint overload from last winter, when I was writing my peppermint pamphlet, so I haven’t been in much of a peppermint mood. I have a feeling that I’ll be feeling this way about pumpkin next year. (If you don’t know, I’m working on a pumpkin cookbook. Lots and lots of tasty pumpkin creations have been made and eaten here lately.) And, since peppermint has been a bit much for me lately, I’ve been going on a bit of gingerbread binge.
I started with this delicious cake but I did not stop there. I made cookies (still to come), I made this Gingerbread Hot Chocolate (yum), and I’m planning some biscotti. To mix it up, I’m also going to play around with some eggnog recipes. First, I have to remember to actually pick some up next time I’m at the store and then, I want to make some treats. I’m thinking of starting with cheesecake and then we’ll see where the creative wind takes me. I enjoyed my Vanilla Bean Eggnog last year so I’ll have to whip something even more special this year.
This cake turned out perfect though, just as I planned it. I used my favorite cake recipe and turned it into gingerbread cake. Then, I wanted to add some maple syrup on top so I poked a bunch of small holes all over the top of freshly baked, warm cake (yes, yes, it’s kind of a poke cake) and drizzled some pure maple syrup over it. You wouldn’t believe the aroma! Finally, I let the cake cool completely and frosted it with cream cheese frosting made with whipped topping, molasses and brown sugar to compliment the cake. If you wish, you can dust this cake with a mixture of powder sugar and cinnamon like I did.
