Gingerbread Cake

I can't take full credit for the recipe, as I got it from an old friend Kelly Hoffman, I will never forget when she served this to us, it was one of the most enjoyable desserts I have ever had. the flavors were amazing. I love the spices, the texture, and everything about it. It was warm when we ate it, and with the fresh whipping cream on top, my mouth is watering already. I hope you enjoy this sometime this holiday season, it is a show stopper.
