Gingerbread

*everydaymom*'s Note:

This is a delicious gingerbread recipe. It has a moist, coffecake-like texture with a streusel top. I have made this in a bundt pan, a mini loaf pan and bread pan. This has all the spices to remind you of the holiday season all year long.

Very good and easy. I didn't give it 5 stars because I actually found the batter quite watery, and at 30 minutes it was still soupy. I baked this for 60 minutes and it turned out great.
