How about that?
The procedure is very simple.

Bake at 170 degrees for about 20 minutes. You can tell when the gingerbread is ready with a wooden stick. You poke it and if the dough doesn’t stick, you can take it out of the oven. Then cut the gingerbread and spread jam inside. Melt the chocolate glaze, pour it over and sprinkle with coconut if desired.
How to improve gingerbread?

Instead of flour, you can sprinkle the baking sheet with coconut. You can add whatever you want to it, according to your taste, some give fruit, some nuts. Or make it two-colored by mixing part of the dough without cocoa and part with it.
How to make homemade frosting?
