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!

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
