GRANDMOTHER ADA'S GINGERBREAD-MY FATHER'S FAVORITE
One bite and we see why this was Kathleen's father's favorite gingerbread - it's amazing. Soft and fluffy with the perfect blend of spices. This would be great served as a light dessert or even a special snack. Definitely a memorable recipe!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten egg and molasses, mixing well.
- Sift dry ingredients and add to the first mixture. Mix slightly.
- Add hot water and beat until smooth.
- Pour into lightly greased pan (I use butter). Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
- This is best served still warm with butter. We usually sliced it open like a biscuit and put butter in the middle to melt. (If daddy had known how microwaves would have made it easy to heat up the gingerbread after it was cold, he probably would have owned a microwave before the 1990s, and he could have eaten the whole pan hot with butter melting on it just as if it were right from the oven.)
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 by 8-inch cake pan and line with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
- Place the rum and raisins in a small pan, cover and heat until the rum boils. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Cool for 5 minutes, then mix in the sour cream and orange zest.

With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix only until smooth. Drain the raisins and add them and crystallized ginger to the mixture with a spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely.
- When the cake has cooled, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice and pour it onto the gingerbread, allowing it to drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set. Cut the gingerbread into 9 squares.
GINGERBREAD
My grandmother first used this recipe for gingerbread over 100 years ago. I remember that the kitchen smelled like heaven when Grandmother baked her gingerbread. The only thing better was when she took it out of the oven and served it with a generous topping of fresh whipped cream! -Ellouise Halstead, Union Grove, Wisconsin

GRANDMOTHER'S GINGERBREAD
This recipe was handed down from my husband's Great-Great-Grandmother - his Grana has it written out in her grandmother's own handwriting! In this family, it's made & served like a piece of cake. I made it 24 small pieces because the flavor is pretty strong. I can only have a small piece at a time. Of course, my husband can eat more than that!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, set a piece of waxed paper on top, and spray wax paper.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Beat egg yolks at high speed in a second bowl until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in molasses and melted butter. Fold in egg whites.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt in a bowl. Sift onto the batter and carefully fold in. Spread batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the sheet comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Invert cake onto the towel. Pull off waxed paper and carefully roll up cake up using the towel. Allow to cool seam side down, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the spiced cream. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cloves in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until cream has the consistency of frosting.
- Carefully unroll the cake and spread 1/2 of the spiced cream on top. Roll cake roll back up, without the towel, and spread remaining cream around the top and sides of the cake roll.
