Gingerbread is all about the molasses and spices, and this gingerbread is nicely spicy. I like to serve with a big spoonful of sweetened whipped cream and a tiny sprinkle of minced candied ginger. This is truly a special and favorite fall and wintertime treat. Gingerbread falls somewhere between a cake and a quick bread. This recipe uses milk and buttermilk for additional flavor and tenderness, and melted butter for a moist dense cake. The spice combination is just right for the perfect ginger and spicy flavor.
