Easy Gingerbread

"Serve this amazing cake with whipped cream. If you prefer an extreme stronger spice flavor then increase all spices by about 1/2 teaspoon. You can even add in raisins to this if you desire. This is taken from my "Holiday Favorites" folder."

  1. This is a very tasty, dark, cake-like gingerbread. I held back one star because I had to put it back in the oven for an extra 25 minutes. I think this would have baked properly in a 9"x13" pan in about 35 minutes and I will try that next time. Thanks Kittencal.
