Gingerbread is an old favorite because it's simple to make. I learned that pioneers served gingerbread with meals, but now it's considered a dessert! Serve hot or cold, with a dollop of whipped or ice cream.

Ingredients

1 cup molasses
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups whole milk
Whipped cream

Directions

In a large bowl, beat molasses, honey, oil and eggs until well-mixed. Combine dry ingredients and add alternately with the milk to the egg mixture. Pour batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature with chilled whipped cream.
