You'll love the dense, rich taste of this moist holiday classic dessert. It's perfectly flavored with brown sugar, molasses and ginger. And it takes just 10 minutes to prepare and bakes in just 35 minutes. The gingerbread tastes delicious served warm right out of the oven with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. You can also serve it at room temperature. For spicier gingerbread add 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cloves and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon with the ginger.
