Loved it! Gingerbread is one of my favourite things and this is an excellent loaf. I used honey instead of the golden syrup - different, but where was I going to find golden syrup here? My mixed spice included cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice - lovely baking. Even better the next day after the flavours had mellowed together.

Great, great gingerbread! Couldn't decide whether to add it to my bread or cake cookbook, so copied it to both! I was going to sub corn syrup for the golden, then a friend supplied me with some, so... I managed to have two different toppings on hand [a raisin sauce AND a lemon sauce], & the bread went very nicely with each one! Will definitely keep this recipe close by!

Nice flavor! I served this with a dollop of lemon yogurt (I love lemon and gingerbread!) Thanks for posting this! This is baked in a 9-inch loaf pan, and is "low" in height!

This is really a wonderful gingerbread. I used an 8x4 loaf pan and got a higher rise. The sugar was cut to 1/8 cup of Splenda Brown Sugar and as I wasn't really sure what was meant by mixed spice I used 1 tsp of Penzeys Cake Spice. It turned out very well and the baking aroma is pure pleasure. Added it to my Keepers Cookbook.
