What flavor tastes like the holidays to you? For me, it’s gingerbread. When Wilton asked me to make a holiday treat using their loaf pan and incorporating some holiday sprinkles, I decided to make a gingerbread loaf cake recipe decorated with gingerbread boys and girls using Wilton’s Gingerbread Boy Shaped Sprinkles Mix! It’s not only delicious, but also fun and easy to decorate. Get the recipe for gingerbread loaf cake on the Wilton site here, and keep reading to see more about this festive cake!

How to make this Gingerbread Loaf Cake recipe

Get the Gingerbread Loaf Cake recipe here. This homemade Gingerbread Loaf Cake is the perfect holiday dessert. Made with molasses, warm spices, and topped with a cream cheese frosting, it’s moist, festive, and full of cozy flavor. Easy to bake and fun to decorate with Wilton sprinkles and cookie cutters, this Christmas gingerbread loaf is a must-try for holiday baking and makes a great gift!


The gingerbread boy and girl shapes on top of the cake are created using cookie cutters lightly pressed into the frosting before being filled with sprinkles. After pressing the sprinkles down lightly to stick them to the frosting, carefully remove the cookie cutter by lifting straight up slowly, which will leave behind just the sprinkle-filled shape.
