I followed the recipe and managed to make rubbish. (my fault) I put it in a tin that was too small. I must say the bits that were edible were delicious. This is a keeper! I will use a proper tin next time.<br />Paula Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954594547261826763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-89573548618339780662015-12-31T08:33:30.328+00:002015-12-31T08:33:30.328+00:00Thanks Mallenrd!

The boy's decided that they needed sugar cookies for Christmas instead of gingerbread cookies since we were short on time but I totally had to work in my gingerbread goodness somewhere during the holiday. I made cake balls with homemade cream cheese frosting, dipped in white chocolate! You could totally taste the gingerbread through all the flavors which was exactly what I wanted!

You have every right to claim it the world’s best. Perfect. Really good food is far more than sustenance and sensory pleasure. It is a gateway to our memories and dreams. Like Proust’s Madeleine, your cake brought back a rush of wonderful memories. Summers in the 1980’s in a seaside village where we did Summer Stock and might well have starved had it not been for the local tearoom’s abundant and generous supply of moist rich gingerbread and whipped cream. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this recipe. – David BennettAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842111632679371327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-86894315509722670202014-11-03T15:23:52.690+00:002014-11-03T15:23:52.690+00:00Hi Faye, thank YOU so much for taking the time to ...Hi Faye, thank YOU so much for taking the time to come back and let us know how you got on!

They took 25 mins at 180 degrees in my oven, made my house smell gorgeous! (wish I could find a candle that smelt like this)<br />Also they were still lovely and moist/tender just as I'd hoped.<br />I'm the only one who likes gingerbread in my house so I have a few to eat now!!

Just fill the cups 2/3 full and of course don't bake them for as long. Just until they are risen and the tops spring back when lightly touched. I would check at 20 minutes.

Perhaps a better cake to try in a loaf tin would be the Gingerbread Loaf I have posted here: http://theenglishkitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/treacle-gingerbread-loaf.html<br /><br />This is also a lovely moist loaf!
