Wow! And WOW!, again!!! If you bake gingerbread for no other reason than the scent it gives your home, you win. Then, you end up with an amazingly simple dessert, and that's an added bonus. I read all reviews: added heaping teaspoons of mace, ginger and nutmeg. Left out cinnamon because we don't like it. Used one 6 ounce container of lemon yogurt plus the grated rind of a lemon and a 1/4 cup of snipped crystalized ginger...sublime!!!! Baked it for 40 minutes; mine was done by that time. I'll be making this weekly during the cold winter months. THANK YOU!

My mom likes this a lot. I thought it a bit blander than I expected, but still worth four stars.

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.
