A nice cake with a bit of zip! This is not too sweet, just right. I used all whole wheat pastry flour for a healthy treat that was very well received by all gingerbread lovers present. I couldn't find my square pan, so I used a 9" round pan, which was fine.

This is a delicious, wonderfully moist and tender light gingerbread. Like Jenny I used all whole wheat pastry flour and used rice milk instead of soy milk (it's what I had). I was kind of surprised at how light the flavor is- its definitely gingerbread, but its not overwhelmingly so. I could imagine that any ginger-phile would welcome this as a birthday cake! You don't have it classified as vegan, although I believe it is. I love that it is only sweetened with molasses and maple syrup- it gives it a wonderful unique and unusual flavor that is delicious! Thanks for posting, Kree! This is divine!
