Grandma's Gingerbread
Nothing smells better than this cake and it's so simple to make. And if you really want to bring back memories - remember to eat it hot. I usually bake this in a 9 x 13" pan. I remember one holiday I think Lisa and I kept the oven going nonstop with pecan pies and gingerbread. No one could get enough of either one.
