Gingerbread is a timeless spiced bread hailing from Europe. People have been making gingerbread for hundreds of years both in cake and cookie forms. We’ve taken an old-fashioned spiced gingerbread cake and adapted it for Suvie. This cake is incredibly moist and flavorful thanks to the five spices and buttermilk used and only requires a bowl, a whisk, and Suvie as tools. Feel free to have this for breakfast or top it with whipped cream or (our favorite) cream cheese frosting for dessert.
