Notes

  • The Batter for gingerbread has to be runny. Runny batter will make the cake so moist and soft.
  • The spices which i used is purely optional. you can add more or less as per your preference.
  • Oil can be used for melted butter.
  • Never over mix your batter, else cake may turn dense.
  • Brown sugar can be substituted for jaggery.
  • Honey can be substituted for treacle, golden syrup.
