Gingerbread Loaf Recipe

Gingerbread Loaf RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Gingerbread Loaf Recipe Rating 5

Enjoy the old-fashioned appeal of gingerbread in a loaf with this recipe originally from Holland. This moist spicy bread smells delicious while it's baking...and slices are wonderful spread with cream cheese. The recipe makes two big loaves, so we have one to eat and one to freeze for later...or to give away. -Martina Biemond, Rosedale, British Columbia

I made the two loaves and in two days my son and husband had most of one gone, good thing I froze the other one. The spices were perfect and the bread was nice and moist.

I would prefer it if it were a bit more sweet.
