If you want something really sweet don’t make this. It’s an old-fashioned gingerbread that’s highly spiced and lightly sweet. This tall deeply flavored bread is moist, super molasses-y and perfect with a dollop of sweet whipped cream. Just the thing to warm up a cold morning. #shorts #cake #glutenfree #glutenfreebaking #glutenfreecake #gingerbread #oldfashioned #wheatfree #recipe #celiacfriendly #food #foodvideo #trending
