Gingerbread with Brown Sugar Sauce image

THE AROMA OF gingerbread is what I remember most about my grandmother's kitchen, and it meant dessert would be special. That was nearly 50 years ago, but whenever I catch a whiff of ginger and cinnamon, I'm back with Grandmother and the happiness I knew. -Toni Hamm, Vandergrift, Pennsylvania

Not a fan of the brown sugar sauce, but the gingerbread itself was good.

This gingerbread was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less ginger next time.

Followed the recipe exactly and the gingerbread came out dry and crumbly. The sauce was also too thin.

This recipe is a keeper! The gingerbread was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
