Gingerbread Cake

I love this cake the first day, the second day, and if it’s still around the third day too.  It tastes like my childhood.

If it doesn’t come out of the bundt pan easily, run a knife around the sides gently pulling it away from the pan.  If some still remains in the pan while it’s better-half obediently sits on the cake plate, remove the stuck part and place it back in it’s place.  You won’t be able to tell. –Elizabeth

  1. Granny, Dolores Borel, baked this cake in a 9×13 pan. It is so moist, I’m not surprised how difficult it is to remove it from a bunt pan. She always served it warm right out of the oven with a dollop of whipped cream.
