Gingerbread Cake With Cashew Icing
This is a cozy, comforting, paleo Gingerbread Cake recipe that’s perfect during the holiday season with a hot cup of tea. It’s quick and easy to make—simply blend all the ingredients and bake. When it’s ready, you’ll have a moist, fluffy and grain-free cake that tastes like all your favorite seasonal spices. We topped ours with an easy cashew vanilla icing, but it would also be delicious plain or served warmed with a scoop of Vanilla Bulletproof Ice Cream.
