Old fashioned gingerbread loaf

     Some years, there just isn't time to make gingerbread cookies.  No time to roll them out, decorate them, cut out a house, glue it together and so forth.  This, my friends, is one of those years.  

     But, just because we are having a year like that, doesn't mean we can't enjoy the flavor or gingerbread, with its tangy bite and the delicious, creamy frosting that sets off the warm flavor so well!  Gingerbread Loaf is perfect for that craving!  It doesn't have too much molasses and the amount of spices is just perfect.  The cream cheese frosting has orange zest, or you could use lemon.  Citrus pairs so well with gingerbread! 

See the orange zest in the frosting?

     I decided that this year my friends would receive a "flight" of sweet bread loaves from our family.  They are quick to make and taste really good.  They will be easy to present in a pretty way.  The decorations are super easy to do and I can whip up the loaves in a short amount of time.  This Gingerbread Loaf was my first choice.   I baked my loaf in an 8 mini loaf pan.  The recipe give directions for one regular loaf.  So, just adjust the temperature as needed.

I actually was able to get 8 mini loaves from 1 recipe.
