Gallagher’s Gingerbread

Gallagher’s is located in Ft. Worth, Texas. Gallagher’s Gingerbread is a one of their featured menu items. They are known for their moist and spicy gingerbread. This recipe is perfect for a holiday party.

Gingerbread is a great spicy cake to make any time of the year. While most of it enjoy it only during the holidays, it makes a great everyday cake. This cake is from the well-known Fort Worth Gallagher’s restaurant. They released this recipe to the public many years ago. This recipe has been a longtime favorite of CopyKat.com.

If you have never tried making homemade gingerbread, it a worthwhile dessert to make. You don’t need to serve it only at the holidays; it is sweet and spice-filled cake to be enjoyed any time of the year. It will make your house smell delightful.

I like to serve this recipe with some fresh whipped cream, or once in awhile, I serve this with some ice cream. I promise it is delicious either way.

This recipe was given to the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram many years ago. Thanks to those old newspaper sections we can have some of our favorite recipes.
