Gingerbread Cake #CakeSliceBakers

Seasonal and delicious this Gingerbread Cake was the perfect ending to a Friendsgiving Dinner.  Just the right amount of spice and more savory than sweet.  A dollop of whipped cream is all you need to dress this cake up for a stunning holiday dessert.

We are nearing the end of The Cake Slice Bakers 2021 Edition........

Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through. This year it is Little Everyday Cakes by Candace Floyd. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes!

Follow our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pages where you can find all of our cakes, as well as inspiration for many other cakes. You can also click on the thumbnail pictures below to take you to each of our cakes. If you have a blog and are interested in joining The Cake Slice Bakers and baking along with us, please send an email to thecakeslicebakers at gmail dot com for more details.

The Cake Slice Bakers also have a new Facebook group called The Cake Slice Bakers and Friends. This group is perfect for those who do not have a blog but want to join in the fun and bake through this book.

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this cookbook.  I had a year's worth of cakes, a different recipe each month, and they were all delicious and easy to prepare.  As an added bonus they are all small batch, perfect, if like me you have absolutely no self control LOL.

This cake serves 9 and was dessert after a Friendsgiving Dinner of 8....leaving one piece for the Teen to enjoy as a late night snack.  Perfect!!!
