Laura has some fond memories from childhood regarding something called Gingerbread Cake often served with a ‘hard sauce.’ I am very familiar with many cakes… especially something called ‘spice cake’… but this isn’t that.
Gingerbread is a ‘firm’ cake sliced in layers and served often with a wonderful hard sauce… and ice cream ( which is how I like it). Laura enjoyed her serving with tea (Earl Grey), honey and lemon. The hard sauce contained: orange brandy, orange zest, cream, rye whiskey, powdered sugar, ginger and butter.
I have to admit… it was very nice.
