Gingerbread, one of the most impimport cake of winter's and of course for Christmas. Ginger bread is full of flavors of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and dry ginger. But I add only ginger to my gingerbread. The lovely golden colour of this bread is purely from molasses and is best to enjoy with hot cup of tea or coffee. If you wish you can use your favorite icing on the Gingerbread.
