Why This Recipe Works In our old-fashioned gingerbread recipe, we used milk rather than hot water (which many recipes call for) for a richer, moister cake. We sweetened our gingerbread recipe with a combination of light unsulfured molasses and white sugar, and used butter rather than oil, shortening, or lard for flavor.
