I had a hard time taking a picture of this Warm Gingerbread Cake with Cream Sauce dessert that would do it justice. You will just have to take my word for it, that it was AMAZINGLY delicious! My husband said it was his new Christmas favorite. We loved it warm right out of the oven. It was an added bonus that baking this made my house smell wonderful. I think you could add a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top, if you wanted to (I am going to do that next time). I can’t remember who gave me this recipe, but I am so glad that I finally got around to trying it out. It really was fantastic! A perfect dessert for a holiday gathering! Merry Christmas!
