  1. I love gingerbread and this one sooo gooood !! Nice , dark and gingery . It tasted just like my grammys recipe that she made years ago ! Thanks !
     
  2. Delicious! I used Brer Rabbit syrup for the molasses. It was moist and spicy! Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. It is delicious. I used very dark Jamaican molasses and so added a little extra sugar after tasting the batter. My house smells good now, also!
     
  4. This is a really moist gingerbread. Just the right amount of spice. I wish I had some whipped cream! Thanks for sharing I will definitely make this one again.
     
  5. I used butter and melted it with the molasses for quickness. I also added a few spoons of chopped glace ginger - as a ginger freak. It made a super moist but light cake. Thanks

I live in St. Albert,Alberta moved here from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia in Dec.2001 as my significant other George is in the Air Force here. My two daughters and four grandchildren are back home in N.S. so I miss home very much,if there are any other Nova Scotians out there,I would love to hear from you. For fun I love Garage Sales,Flea Markets,collecting dishes,shopping,going out to a nice restaurant for dinner. Don't have a favorite cookbook,just love looking @ all recipes & finding ones that sound good enough to try. Love animals,we have two cats. If I had a month off I would go visit my family and would love to go to Europe,so I guess a month wouldn't be enough unless I could take my family to Europe with me. Guess I'll just have to win the lottery!!!
