I have baked gingerbread houses for over 30 years – there’s nothing quite like the smell of warm cinnamon, ginger, and molasses. 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 alongside Pumpkin Pie this Thanksgiving! It is perfect to serve with a bottle of Believe Chai Tea as the flavors mirror that of this cake.
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
½ cup Whey Low Gold, sugar replacer – available at Whole Foods Market
