Default REC: Old-Fashioned Gingerbread

On Sun 13 Jul 2008 12:37:41p, Cuthbert Thistlethwaite told us...


Well, I actually made that recipe, and it's quite good!

It doesn't cut into thin slices willingly, but who cares.

I did not make the frosting; I like ginger bread with vanilla ice cream
or whipping cream, if anything.

Thanks much.


Well, I'm really glad you like it! Two comments, though. This gingerbread
wasn't meant to be cut into thin slices, more like 3 x 3 inch squares, or 9
servings max. It's more cake-like than bread-like. Also, the glaze that
you didn't make actually soaks into the gingerbread to make it super moist
with a nice citrusy undertone. Even with the glaze, it's still good with
either ice cream or whipped cream. If you make it again, you might
reconsider making the glaze.
