Eggless Gingerbread Cake - Gingerbread Village Series (Part 2)
No Christmas holidays is celebrated without Ginger Bread cookies and cakes. And I had to follow suit too. Because they are not just yummy but they are so beautiful and fun to make. I mean creating an entire village over a cake is the perfect centrepiece to your dinner table and believe me I have the most fun making this one in a long long time. Its like going back to childhood when I used to make working models for school projects. (Summer vacay projects used to be my favourite part of year, yes I was a total nerd, still am!)
I made these Ginger bread series in 2 parts. For those of you who missed part 1 where I posted the GINGEBREAD COOKIES recipe, no worries, the link to eggless iced cookies are right here.
And as part 2 of my village series, here is the recipe for Eggless Gingerbread cake made with whole wheat flour. Lately, I have switched to whole wheat flour and other healthier flour option and completely ditched white flour/ all-purpose flour/ maida which is really unhealthy and full of gluten.
I'm planning to do a post on different kinds of flours you can use for baking, let me know if you would like to know more about flours, in the comments below.
Find the recipe below, hoping you enjoy making it as much as I did. Also, I have adapted this recipe from the best vegetarian recipe blogger I know. The link to the original recipe by Dassana is here at
