The lovely Rosanne Toroian at Good Housekeeping magazine devised this gingerbread cake, and author Lori Longbotham thought it was the best one she had ever tasted. But, of course, she decided to add some chocolate chips. Don’t be intimidated—it may look like lots of ingredients, but it’s mostly spices that can be measured very quickly. Make sure to use natural cocoa powder.
