Eggless Gingerbread Cake Recipe
This recipe is eggless, so it will be a wonderful treat for everyone at home. It is very easy to make and is a very healthy recipe. This ginger cake is very tasty, nutritious, and delicious.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of sugar

• 1 cup of flour (any type or combination of flours will work)

(This is a great way to add some extra protein and fiber to your diet) If you are gluten-free, you can use brown rice flour instead. The choice is yours! Just remember that the mixture will be dryer for brown rice flour than for regular wheat flour. This shouldn’t be an issue because we’re adding more wet ingredients later, but if it bothers you too much then go ahead and try using whole wheat pastry flour instead! Or even half whole wheat pastry and half white bread.
