- For a richer flavor, use dark molasses instead of light molasses.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To make sure your cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- For a lighter and fluffier frosting, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought gingerbread cake mix instead of making your own.
- To make a gluten-free version of this cake, use gluten-free flour.
