Notes: Happy 180 South movie! The work folks are having a showing of this movie at work and I thought I would make a little treat! Someone asked me to make gingersnaps, but I thought this cake would be even better. The ginger pieces add a different texture which I like. You can add ice cream with it, which we had at work, or make a ginger flavored whipped cream, which is what I wanted to make but ran out of time. This is also a great layer cake, so try it out!
