During the holidays I love to do a lot of baking for gifting, parties, and dinners. I make the usual baked goods like my yeast rolls and a variety of cookies, but my favorite is always the gingerbread. It was something my mom would always make at least once during the season and it's a tradition I enjoy repeating. Plus, Mr. Savvy spent a good chunk of his childhood living in Germany so loving gingerbread is basically a part of his DNA. Besides, it's pretty amazing just how much drool-worthy spicy flavor a seemingly simple looking piece of gingerbread cake holds. Sadly, it often gets passed over for holiday cookies and pies. So, this year I decided to turn gingerbread into a centerpiece worthy holiday dessert with this chocolate gingerbread cake roll with peppermint buttercream recipe.
