Nice cake recipe. I made mine in a 8x8 pan and it was done after 30 minutes, maybe sooner if I'd been paying attention! The only thing I changed is I used cloves instead of allspice (I'm not fond of allspice). It might be good with some chocolate chips!

I love gingerbread and like this healthier version very much! I used half Splenda and half sugar (1/8th cup each). I baked it in an 8-inch round pan for 25 minutes, and it was done perfectly. I also added about a tbls. of chopped, crystallized ginger for added zing.

This is low in fat, low in sugar and has just the right amount of spices. It made a delicious quick dessert for tonight. Instead of the individual spices, I used my Baking Spice Blend Mix Baking Spice Blend Mix.

To be able to have a dessert that can have a touch of holidays is great. I always think of X-mas when I have ginger..anything! This will become a regular for that time of the year. AND we all know how calorie-laden all the treats are at that time of the year and now we have an alternative. I do recommend seeing to it that your spices are not too old or they will not shine through and the flavor will be lacking.I will be making this again, and, I think I will add some raisins too. Thanks, kind lady, for posting this jewel.
