I make this gingerbread every year for Christmas. It's a staple everyone loves! This year I did a test cake with a few changes. In place of butter I used applesauce, in place of sugar I used a zero calorie brown sugar, in place of all-purpose white flour I used white wheat flour and I used 1 Tbs of ginger. Everyone who tried it agreed it was just as good. It did lack some richness without the butter but the applesauce actually made it more moist and most liked the added ginger. This recipe is a keeper!!!!
