Mary Garrion says
I love ginger but have not found a recipe with a good balance of spices. Most have a strong ginger taste. Would you recommend the gingerbread cake or the applesauce donut one?
Also: When you use vanilla bean paste in a cake, do you use the same amount as you would vanilla extract?
Ashley Frederick says
I would recommend the Gingerbread Pound Love. Yes I use the equivalent.
Judy says
