Cake Preparation: Start by baking a gingerbread cake according to your favorite recipe or using a boxed mix. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Making the Holes: Once cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake. Ensure the holes are large enough to absorb the filling.
Prepare the Filling: Prepare a spiced cream filling by combining sweetened condensed milk with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk until well combined.
Filling the Holes: Pour the spiced cream filling over the surface of the cake, making sure to fill each hole generously. Allow the cake to sit for a few minutes, allowing the filling to seep into the cake.
Frosting the Cake: Spread a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake, covering the filled holes and creating a smooth surface.
Decorating: Finish the cake by dusting the top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or decorating with gingerbread cookie crumbles for added texture and flavor.
