One of my favourite Christmas activities is baking with my Mom, but this year, we likely won't have time to schedule our yearly baking day. My Grandma, whom I love dearly, has just moved into a hospice and my Mom has been back and forth from Edmonton to Calgary every week and I am at home with an active preschooler and *very* fussy (but super cute) baby.
Gingerbread instantly makes me think of the holidays. Gingerbread cookies, lattes and loaves are among some of my all time favourite holiday treats, and this gingerbread cake has become my favourite holiday dessert to make. I haven't met a person who doesn't love it. I made it yesterday afternoon while my daughter was napping and brought it to my supper club last night (which is made up of Registered Dietitians—and foodies—that I went to university with).
