awesome gingerbread cake roll
It's been a long time since I made this. It pays some times to just sit down and go look in your recipe box. I remember how good this tasted. It's a different way of making ordinary gingerbread. The creamy filling along with the moise cake makes a great dessert for any Holiday or Special Occasion. Can be sprinkled with powdered sugar or cinnamon in stead of frosting.
