Triple Ginger Gingerbread Cake. The gingeriest!

Since we first published this triple ginger version of gingerbread cake almost 12 years ago, it has become our standard recipe.  Also, it’s one we regularly enjoy at the Holidays.

Warm gingerbread cake on Christmas Eve with warm custard or a Rum & Butter Sauce is just heavenly.

I also love it with just a dollop of thick cream or clotted cream as shown above. Whipped cream is not at all bad either!

The gingeriest!

I made this as a treat for Spouse. Gingerbread is her favorite cake and with 3 different kinds of ginger in the recipe, this one is particularly nice.

Like most gingerbread recipes this one is even better the day after it is baked. But, considering how delicious it is warm out of the oven, that experience may be limited to only the most disciplined. 😉
