Blueberry Gingerbread

"I love this unusual gingerbread recipe and have always gotten great reviews. I got the recipes years ago from a cookbook that Benson & Hedges put out. (I haven't smoked since 1986 so you can tell that I have had this for a long time.)"

  1. This is absolutely the best gingerbread I've ever eaten...and, it's easy to make. It's very moist and has a wonderful flavor. No whipped cream is needed!!!!
     
  2. Delicious gingerbread. I was hesitant about the blueberries at first, but I will make this again, for sure. I used a 9x13 pan, as that's what I had. Also, I used "sour milk" (1 Tb vinegar + milk to 1 cup), as I didn't have buttermilk on hand. It turned out great.
     
  3. Wonderful taste and on the lighter side. The bread was so moist yet did not stick to pan. Really delicate compared to my usual recipe.
     
  4. Great! Great! Great! Have had wonderful comments. Will freeze and use for Christmas gifts! Many thanx! Jeneen
     
  5. VERY good!! Even my DD who is not a big blueberry fan loved this. And so easy and quick to make. A definate keeper to make again and again.
