December 19, 2012 in cake
Oh man, y’all. Caramel and gingerbread aren’t things that I’d typically pair together but this torte? This torte is pretty fantastic.

This torte is rich and moist and one of my favorite gingerbread treats ever. It’s just a bit spicy thanks to the cinnamon and ginger so it works perfectly with the super sweet caramel. It’s also incredibly simple to make and looks really impressive.
