When you envision gingerbread, do you think chewy cookie, soft cake, or crunchy cookie? I usually go chewy, unless there’s a fruity element, then it’s cake.
So the addition of orange peel to this blend has me craving gingerbread quick bread baked in a loaf plan with glaze. The ginger’s not too sharp, and the anise (not a favorite with me) isn’t obnoxious. It’s very drinkable on its own—my tumbler’s empty already—and I bet a little milk or sweet vanilla creamer would be lovely.

Please note that gingerbread can have all three forms. I like mostly “soft cake”, I would rather descibe it as “brownies soft” and then crunchy cookies.
I wondered what it might be like in your part of the world! I don’t know that I’ve ever had gingerbread that had a brownie texture, but that sounds perfect!
Naturally, I haven’t tried those recipes, but check them out :)

They sounds exactly how I prefer my gingerbread.
Thanks for the links! Since the weather has suddenly cooled, I have had a strange compulsion to bake. (This is NOT like me at all. I’m not a cook!)
You won’t cook, you will bake :)
