Mmmmm. I made a gingerbread cake a week ago. It’s so good that way (not that I don’t like the gingerbread cookies, or lebkuchen). I used an orange flavored cream cheese frosting. I still remember the long sheet cakes of gingerbread coated with powdered sugar at my elementary school cafeteria.
Powdered sugar is great on gingerbread - sometimes simple is best. The gingerbread I made today was too heavy on the clove. I don’t think I really like clove that much. I should have substituted mace or nutmeg.
