This is the most delicious ginger cake I ever tried! I used a gluten free flour mix of 1 c white rice flour, 1/3 c sweet rice flour, 1/3 c tapioca starch, 1/3 c millet flour and 1 tsp. xanthan gum and it turned out perfectly. Also I used only about 1/2 cup brown rice syrup and 3/8 cup molasses and skipped the sugar - it was still plenty sweet for me, just perfect. I'm sorry I can't use confectioner's sugar for decoration, but it tastes fantastic without! I'll for sure make this again. Thanks for sharing! Made for Comfort Cafe Snowqueen's Round 2010.
