The molasses or honey gives the gingerbread a rich flavor and dark color.
Meanwhile, the spices give it its nostalgic aromatic profile.

Almond flour tends to make gingerbread a bit denser, while oat flour may give it a crumblier texture.

You should also keep gingerbread cake in an airtight container to keep it moist.
Alternatively, freeze gingerbread cookies and gingerbread cake to keep them good for up to about three months.
