2) Mix all the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl

3) Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated

4) Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan

Bake for about 40 minutes but keep your eyes on it to make sure the Gingerbread does not burn. Insert a toothpick into the Gingerbread and if it comes out clean the Gingerbread is ready to take out of the oven.

Note: You can also make a simple glaze using powdered sugar and milk to pour onto the Gingerbread. Or you can simply dust it with powdered sugar, or spoon on a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy!!!
