This festive sticky toffee gingerbread cake is perfect for the holidays! A fluffy cake flavored with ginger and molasses topped with a sweet and buttery toffee sauce. The best flavors of the season in one irresistibly cozy dessert.
What sets this recipe apart
Two in one: A classic gingerbread cake meets sticky toffee pudding.
Sticky toffee sauce: A sweet and sticky toffee sauce is the perfect addition to the spiced cake.
Versatile: Serve this cake as is or top with ice cream or whipped cream. My family loves it with butter pecan ice cream.
