Very good gingerbread- I typically add nearly double spices to everything anyway, so this turned out as spciy as I would normally like. I have to say that I was a bit panicked at the lack of baking time..."till it's done" makes me worry. I baked it for 37 minutes and it turned out great. Thanks for sharing!

    This gingerbread was nice and light, but as another reviewer said it just wasn't spicy enough for us. Not bad at all, just not what we were looking for in a gingerbread.

    I loved this recipe too; because my Mom's diabetic, and loves ginger, and so I substituted Sugar Twin for the sugar, and used Corn syrup, as I didn't have Molasses on hand. This recipe in my opinion was on the best I've found; because although it still calls for two kinds of sweeteners, it was less sweet than others I had looked at. As previously stated by the other two who reviewed it, I agree it was easy to make; and I added to My Cookbook, as I would definitely make it again. Thank you for sharing your Grandma's recipe, she must have been a wonderful lady, these kind of memeories are priceless.

    Oh, this was so wonderful. I am not much of a sweet eater but good homemade gingerbread is something that I really like. Your recipe instructions were very easy to follow. Had a delicious flavor and soft, tender texture. I ate mine plain but the rest of my family wanted whipped cream on top. A wonderful wintertime dessert. Thanks.
