Love this recipe and featured it on my blog- the only thing I changed was using brown sugar in place of molasses and I also used a loaf pan. This is also delicious with almonds or raisins mixed in. http://peaceloveorganicmommy.blogspot.com/2012/12/old-fashioned-gingerbread.html

To Die for! Very moist, flavorful - perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I chose to top mine with a orange cream cheese icing. I also added some grated candied ginger to the cake as well. I'm thrilled to have this recipe. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year?
