Notes
- For every cup of all purpose flour, remove two tablespoons and replace with two tablespoons of corn starch. Be sure to sift the flour and cornstarch together a couple of times, this way it is sure to be properly combined and lump free.
- Store the Gingerbread Cake in a cool dry place, be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic or in an airtight container. It will last for about five days. The taste of the cake will actually improve after a day or two.
- The cake can also be frozen. Freeze tightly wrapped in plastic in an airtight freezer safe bag or container. Properly stored it will keep for up to six months in the freezer.
