Gingerbread Cake - shhhhh, it has zero added sugar!

I have baked gingerbread houses for over 30 years and there is nothing quite like the smell of warm cinnamon, ginger, and molasses in your kitchen.

This cake is moist and absolutely delicious, especially when you top it with some warm applesauce and whipped cream. This dessert gets my vote for top dessert to serve on your holiday table! It makes a small cake to cut into 9 squares - take this to your family gathering and watch it disappear.
