I used 1 t ginger, 1 t cinnamon and 1/8 t cloves, 1/2 c melted butter. I reduced the molasses to 1/4 c and increased the brown sugar to 1/2 c. I made it as 12 muffins, baked at 180C for 25 minutes. Oh, and I put raisins in half the batter. Delicious!

This recipe was a GREAT hit with my family. I read the other reviews and added a cup of applesauce and doubled up on the spices. Excellent recipe!!!

This is the best gingerbread receipe i've found. The loaf is so light and fluffy it's delicious. The only difference is that I sprinkled sugar on top of the loaf before baking. I had to cook it much longer then specified.I could eat a whole loaf in 1 day it's that good.

used maple syrup instead as suggested by an early review and it turned out excellent!

Tasted good, but I added an extra egg and it was still crumbly. Also not as rich as I'd have liked, but I did use milk instead of water.

This was an absolute amazing recipe. It came out soft and rich. My advice, double the spices, and add one extra egg. This makes it have a better flavor, and the egg keeps it from crumbling. The smell of gingerbread filled the whole house. It was a great experience making this recipe.

I have been trying to find the perfect gingerbread recipe, and this is it. I added a scant 1/8 tsp. cloves for a little more spice, but it would be fine w/out it. Also, I used regular molasses because I didn't have light. Everyone loves this gingerbread.

I loved this recipe. I did make a few changes. I substituted applesauce for the shortening to make it lower in fat. I also used 1 teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon. I did not have any molasses so I used pure maple syrup. The end result was a moist and flavorful cake Thank you for sharing this recipe!
