"This is a nice dessert for the holidays for a change of pace. I always use my recipe for Grandma Brown's Gingerbread, but you can use whatever your favourite is as long as it's the old-fashioned cake kind. Prep time is stove top time, cook time is refrigeration time. NOTE: gingerbread is not included in nutritional facts"
