West Creek® Gingerbread Cake
Directions
- Sift flour, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, and salt then reserve.
- In a mixer with paddle attachment add butter and sugar on low to cream.

- Slowly add the flour mixture to the mixer with the creamed butter mixture while running on low.
- Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and add the batter to the pan. Once the batter is in the pan tap in on the counter one or two times to prevent large air pockets.

- Remove cake from oven and cool on a rack for an hour before serving.
- For the icing whisk together the cocoa, powdered sugar, rum, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Pour icing over the loaf cake then sprinkle walnuts and almonds on top to present.
