Gingerbread Cake made with 100% Whole Wheat and Coconut Oil
This treat is my take on a German classic, Gewürzkuchen, which translates into “spice cake”. And it’s a healthier version, perfect during a time where we’re all overindulging: 100% whole wheat without any butter or refined oil. This cake came out so delicious, you won’t believe there’s no white flour or butter! Check out my gingerbread cookies for a more traditional recipe.
