Gluten-Free Gingerbread with The Cake Mix Doctor
Anne Byrn, better known as The Cake Mix Doctor, is legendary for her amazing recipes using pre-made cake mixes. In her latest book, The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free, Anne focuses expressly on gluten-free baking, using only gluten-free mixes and add-in’s. I had the pleasure of previewing some of her recipes recently and found this amazing recipe for gluten free Kitchen Sink Gingerbread. It’s so perfect for the holidays! I had a blast following the recipe and sampling the wares. My whole family loved it’s ooey gooey texture and fabulous spicy flavor. It tasted just like regular gingerbread! The next time you need to bake something that is gluten-free for the holidays give this a shot, it will be the hit of the party.
