This is a lovely gingerbread with crumb topping to have with tea or coffee. I think I found the recipe in an old Houston Junior League cookbook.

I was looking for a recipe to make gingerbread with my fifth graders, and my mom suggested this one to me. I made a batch the night before to test it out (and just in case the one at school didn't turn out). It was so easy to throw together! I ended up accidently throwing in 2 sticks of butter instead of 3/4 a cup. It baked up so fluffy and tasty (I had a piece for breakfast). The batch at school was super easy, and the only change I made was to use the correct amount of butter. Honesty- after trying both of them, I liked the one with 2 sticks better. Gave a piece to my principal and she proclamed it the best she had ever eaten, and my class gave it 25 thumbs up. Thanks for sharing!

    This is just what I've been looking for- a delicious gingerbread, made without molasses (which is virtually unavailable to me here). My husband and I both loved it. Also a good recipe to use up some extra buttermilk. Thanks so much for posting!

    Absolutely Wonderful! My daughter-in-law made this for our family get-together yesterday. I usually do not care for gingerbresd, as it is too spicy, and has too strong a flavor. This was very mild. The spices blended beautifully. This will definitely become a tradition for our family holidays!

    Absolutely delicious! Tender and moist with wonderful flavor. I used Baking Spice Blend (Baking Spice Blend Mix) with this recipe and it worked perfectly! I am looking forward to serving this to my company this evening along with Lemon Ice Cream (no ice cream maker necessary) (Lemon Ice Cream (no Ice Cream Maker Necessary))! I will most definitely make this again : ) Thanks so much, LonghornMama!
