gingerbread cake with walnuts and currants

A recipe for gingerbread cake with walnuts and raisins without butter or other fat. Tasty and a delicious treat.

Gingerbread cake is more common (see, for example, these three recipes), but it is so tasty that I'll always try out new variations. This is a fat-free variant filled with walnut and raisins. With a delicious gingerbread flavor, crunchy walnuts and  juicy currants. And after baking enjoy a thick slice of gingerbread cake. You can smear it with a nice layer of butter (but then it is no longer fat-free). Delicious with coffee or a cup of tea.

 

It's a good taste!
