Soft Gingerbread image

Topped with whipped cream, this simple dessert is one of my favorite comfort foods. It's quick enough for a weeknight treat, and tastes even better for left-overs! Originally from Esther Shank's Mennonite cookbook and tweaked a bit by me.

This gingerbread is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still really good. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.
