Laura Ingalls Wilder's gingerbread!

We made it last night. I baked it at 375 F (160 C in my fan oven) for 55 minutes, nearly twice as long as the directions advise, but it's WONDERFUL! More clove-y than gingery, we all agree, and if I were to make it again I'd probably substitute another teaspoon of ginger for the teaspoon of allspice. It made two loaves.
It is 9.15 a.m.--the sun is just coming up. (It is true that official sunrise here was 8.41 a.m., but it takes another half an hour to clear the hills across the valley).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
