This cake was a popular dessert in my house growing up.  It was easy to make and we always had the ingredients.  I would whip it up for our Family Home Evening treat on many occasions.  It is best topped with whip cream.  I have to say, my new favorite way to eat this cake is in Pumpkin Gingerbread Trifle.  If you haven’t tried that yet, you need to.  However, this cake is delicious no matter how you eat it.  Since I am not a fan of actual gingerbread cookies, this is a win for me!
