Secrets for a perfect gingerbread Christmas cake 

We all love the taste of gingerbread because it 's like tasting Christmas in one bite. 

-To make the gingerbread Christmas cake fluffy, from the moment the flour is added, mix it slowly. If you mix it strongly, instead of fluffy, it will become elastic and hard. 

-The bundt should always be 3/4 full of cake mixture. 

- When you measure the spices, the spoons should be sharp and not mountain. 

-If you want to bake in air, set the oven to 160 ºC and bake on the middle grill. 

- Do not take the cake out of the oven if we do not check if it was baked properly and stabilized in the center. 

-Let the cake stand for 10 ′ in the form and then unmold it on a grill to dry. 

- Alternatively, instead of icing, you can use a nugget of vanilla flavored sugar paste, which you have heated in a ben marie and while it is liquid, pour it over the cake. 

-Glaze the gingerbread cake, after it has cooled completely.

-When you measure the tea spoons of spices, these needs to be flat and not overfilled.

- If you want to bake with fan-assisted, set the oven to 160ºC and bake on the middle grill.
