Gingerbread Pudding Cake fresh from the oven warms the belly and the heart.
It is heart warming for sure.
The recipe shared below can be baked into individual mugs or a baby bundt pan (here)….now that would be extra sweet!
mmmmm, this has me thinking of creating a baby bundt box for this fun dessert (here)!
Follow the recipe for your own taste ~ I removed much of the spice and added chocolate chips and powdered sugar…..you cannot go wrong with this combination, making it a little sweeter.

I have a very fond memory of my grandfather sitting with all of his grandkids teaching us how to hold our tongues and say ‘molasses on the table’…and we giggled and laughed. ~ go ahead try it.
We miss you Pappy, so happy for the sweet memories.
This is a quick and easy breakfast for Christmas morning, your family will love it served in individual mugs ~ be sure to serve with powdered sugar to sprinkle on top.
