Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Grandmom Lindner's favorite gingerbread cake

    • sarahkalsbeek on January 11, 2022

      Made this into cupcakes and they were delicious! Used a maple cream cheese frosting found on smitten kitchen to frost them.

  • Pumpkin-gingerbread cake

    • Stringsandpots on January 19, 2026

      I substituted the pumpkin puree for the same volume of mashed ripe bananas. Turned out wonderfully in a bundt pan, a new favorite cake. The spice blend and taste level was spot on.

  • Spiced pear upside-down gingerbread cake

    • cmartinfirvida on October 22, 2023

      DH pronounced this spectacular. Used Bosc pears. The cake crumb was not as dense as many gingerbread cakes and that made a lovely touch. Swapped cardamom for ginger because I super love cardamom and they have a related flavor profile -- a great swap if you love cardamom.

  • Carol Lee's jewelled gingerbread fruitcake

    • Flutefish on December 31, 2025

      This is the best fruitcake I’ve ever had, and I’m married to a Brit so I’ve had plenty of Christmas fruitcake. (He also thought it was the best fruitcake ever.) I will never need another recipe!

  • Cutout gingerbread cookies

    • sarahkalsbeek on December 08, 2020

      These were great! Had a perfect balanced flavor. The dough was a bit wet for me, even after very thorough overnight chilling, but turned out just fine once flour was added for rolling.

  • Chocolate-ginger crinkle cookies

    • Flutefish on January 23, 2026

      My most requested chocolate cookie recipe.
