Directions
Grandma Brown’s Gingerbread,Grandma Brown was my great-grandmother on my father’s side. I never got to meet her, but I remember my grandma making her gingerbread. Last Christmas, I made a bunch of it up and gave it to my family. Now, I give it to you. Enjoy! Due to feedback, I am adding another comment here…old-fashioned gingerbread is a dense cake. If that is not what you expect from gingerbread, then this recipe is probably not for you.,Made as directed except I had to substitute butter for the shortening. It came out light and airy and was loved by all at the potluck.,Nice moist and flavorful cake. Made a double batch to serve at a party and it was a hit. A nice presentation is to sift confectioner’s sugar on top.
