Gingerbread Snacking Cake

Gingerbread dusted with powdered sugar. Seriously, everything is prettier with powdered sugar. I think I'm going to dust myself.

Yippee! It is 8 days before my birthday today! I'm soooo into my birthday! Not for the gifts, but for the "special-dayness" of it. I'm heading up to San Francisco on my b-day to celebrate and, of course, eat lots of desserts and cake!

Anyway, this morning (8 days before my birthday), I made Gingerbread Snacking Cake from the Martha Stewart website.

It uses 1 cup of unsulphured molasses, dark brown sugar, lots of spices and one whole tablespoon of grated ginger. Serious yummy ingredients.

The Southern California version - no dusting of snow! :) However, it is getting SUPER COLD here (don't laugh Sunshine, remember you used to live here too). It is in the 40s and 50s at night!!!
