For an enhanced flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. To avoid a hard crust, let the gingerbread cool in the oven overnight with the door slightly ajar. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
