Larry dug through my Cheese Board Collective cookbook a couple of days ago, and marked this as something he’d like me to make. The intro to the recipe says that “small loaves of gingerbread are the perfect winter present”. I made the loaves thinking they would be a nice hostess gift for tonight’s Christmas party.
We tried one of the loaves while it was still barely warm. Yum! Larry really liked it. I think the loaves could have cooked a bit longer, but they weren’t gooey inside. I’m becoming a big fan of molasses, and these loaves have just the right amount of spice.

I love gingerbread!
I, too, really enjoy molasses. It’s surprisingly versatile and can be put inside savory and sweet dishes. Really good mixed in with some basmati rice topped with curry.
