This week's TWD recipe was chosen by Heather of Sherry Trifle, who should post the recipe sometime today. You can also find it on page 212 of Dorie's book.I had never made gingerbread before--I am not a huge fan of molasses, and I think that's why I didn't love this recipe. I must say the icing is amazing! I used an 8x11-inch pan, and the batter fit perfectly.
Liz's Rating: 7.5/10 (9.5/10 for the icing)

ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge gingerbread fan either but the chocolate frosting and the bits mixed into batter balanced it out for me. Your cake looks great and I agree, the frosting was delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI thought the icing was fabulous, too. I am not a huge gingerbread fan, either, but did find this to be tasty.
