 Ashley (District of Columbia) says:
I just made this and definitely plan on using the recipe again. It comes out quite fluffy and cakelike, which I prefer for a loaf of gingerbread. This fit perfectly in a loaf pan for me instead of the 7" square it calls for. I think I might add more sugar next time, but I always find gingerbread recipes aren't quite sweet enough for my tastes.
