Auntie Lilly's Ginger Bread...

This recipe was given to me. I ate some of this cake and loved it and asked for the recipe. I love when that happens, I think it's so personal, like I share a little piece of them.

I think this bread is more a cake than a bread, but either way its yum.

This recipe makes two 2lb loafs. So make it when you are having guests or if your going visiting...

Finished Product...

Ginger Bread

This was the first time I made this. I have had the recipe for a long time and because it makes two loaves I had to wait till I was going visiting. My sister moved into a new house so I brought one loaf to her...

I have a fan oven. I am sure there is a non fan option on it but I did'nt adjust for that and so my loaf cooked too fast on the outside. I covered it with tin foil and watched it  and tested it to see if it was ready. Mine took about 1 hour 10mins.

Still delicious....

Next time I am going to adjust the oven and see. Also make sure the mix is well incorporated.

Happy Baking!

I am off to make a cup of tea and have a slice or two...who knows!!!

Here is a wee snap of my foggy morning! My view to go with my tea and ginger bread.
