For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. A hint of black pepper can add an intriguing warmth to the gingerbread spice profile. Ensure the boiling water is added gradually to prevent the egg from cooking and to achieve a smooth batter. For an extra moist cake, brush the cake with a simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar, simmered until dissolved) before glazing.
