Some of you may be thinking I'm a month or so late with this post, and I admit: those some have a point.
For the record, I did write a post about gingerbread in that most gingerbready of seasons. But since the weather here is only beginning to get frightful, it's still a great time of year for warm, spicy cake, fresh out of the oven.
And that's what I made this afternoon.
My oh my was it good.
I don't usually do product recommendations, but in this case I have to make an exception. Here's why.
- The mix only requires water and 1 egg. (True confession time: I was out of eggs, and so substituted an egg-sized dollop of mayonnaise.)
- The directions call for mixing it together right in the baking pan. No extra dishes to wash! LOVE!
- The smell was heavenly, and the gingerbread is moist, flavorful, soft, spicy, and tender.
It almost literally could not be easier. And I don't mean virtually. I mean literally.
I think this mix is going to become a pantry staple. Not only is it great for whipping together something warm and sweet on a snowy, blowy day, I'm already thinking up ways it could be glammed up when I need an easy to prepare dessert to complete a meal I've fussed over for friends.
Give it a try. You just might love it.
