It is important to know that dry cake can be caused by a number of factors, but one of the most common is an oven that runs too hot. To avoid baking at a temperature five to even 50 degrees hotter than what the dial says (and therefore over-baking and drying out your cake), invest in an oven thermometer for a more accurate reading of the heat in your oven.

Also, the addition of the anise spice can add a distinctive gourmet twist to the flavor of gingerbread, as it lends a kiss of liquorice that gives gingerbread an unexpected and festive punch of flavor.
