Gingerbread cake

This gingerbread cake is one of my favourite sweets of the winter season. It's the perfect combination of real gingerbread aroma, spicy flavour, softness and delicious cottage cheese cream that makes it so special. I have made it several times and it has always been a great success. The ingredients are easy to obtain and the preparation is not complicated.
