Glazed Gingerbread Cake image

This is a favorite dessert during the holidays and at special occasions. I've tried creating a glaze of some sort to drizzle over this moist, flavorful cake, but have found that it's delicious as is. A tall glass of cold milk is the only addition I'd suggest.-Edith Ekstedt, Paso Robles, California
