Ingredients
2 eggs
1⁄2 cup oil
1⁄4 cup fancy molasses
1 pkg Gingerbread Mix
1 cup whipping cream
1 tbsp icing sugar
1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
1⁄4 tsp Gingerbread Spices

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 1⁄4 Sheet Pan with 1⁄4 Sheet Pan Liner.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Whisk in oil and molasses. Stir in mix. Scrape batter onto pan.
Bake 15 min, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool 10 min, then flip cake onto Cooling Rack. Freeze 10 min.
Meanwhile, using a hand mixer on medium-high, beat whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and spices in a large bowl until fluffy.
Remove cake from the freezer. Using a small gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out 8 gingerbread shapes.
Divide cake scraps between 8 bowls. Top with whipped cream and toasted pecans, if desired. Place a gingerbread cutout on each bowl. Add a sprinkle of icing sugar and more pecans, if desired.
