26. - 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
27. - 1/4 teaspoon salt

33. - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
34. - Zest of 1 orange
36. Instructions:
38. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
40. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
42. Step 3: In another large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the molasses, brown sugar, brandy, and vanilla extract.
44. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until just combined.
46. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
48. Step 6: While the cake is cooling, prepare the brandy sauce by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
50. Step 7: Gradually whisk in the brandy and stir until smooth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until thickened.
52. Step 8: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool completely. Drizzle the brandy sauce over the cooled cake and let it set for at least an hour.
54. Step 9: Prepare the whipped orange flower cream by whipping the heavy cream, orange flower water, powdered sugar, and orange zest in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake and decorate with additional orange zest and slices, if desired.
56. Step 10: Serve and enjoy your delicious gingerbread cake with brandy sauce and whipped orange flower cream!
58. Tips:
60. - For an extra kick of flavor, add a teaspoon of ground allspice to the dry ingredients mixture.
61. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by mixing 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
62. - For a more festive touch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or candies on top of the whipped cream before serving.
