If you're counting calories, it's pretty important to know how many servings the cake is.

The recipe is a tad bit hard to follow, but if you get it right, the loaf comes out great! The consistancy is heavy, so in a way, like a spicy pound cake. Great for a quick breakfast or a casual dessert!

This recipe was easy, quick, and tasted great when finished. Add the sugar or honey for a little bit of extra sweetness. This dessert reminds me of fall and is great with some hot cider.




great cake!

I am currently dieting, and it is hard when you go to get-to-gethers and there is nothing healthy and good there for dessert besides fruit. This is an amazingly good cake and you don't have to feel guilty for eating it! I highly suggest making it!

This tea cake is actually quite moist considering the little amount of butter used. The pumpkin and ginger are key and give the cake a punch of flavor. The only reason I give it four stars is for it to be outstanding, a little more butter on top would make it super delicious. It's supposed to be low cal though, right? Great for a low cal treat to bring for the office and family gatherings. I'd recommend it!

It was just OK, a very heavy cake. I didn't like the bits of ginger in the cake, unless it was my fault and I didn't cut up the crystalized ginger in small enough pieces




Good made better

First time I tried this recipe I did not have the crystallized ginger so I used ginger root. The substitution made for a nice ginger flavor but lacked the sweetness I had hoped for, my wife thought it excellent though. Next time around I used half ginger root half crystallized ginger for a total of 1/3 to 1/2 a cup. Makes for a great snack, full of flavor without gobs of fat and calories.




Quite good

This would be good as a healthy snack. This can be baked in both cake and cupcake form. Next time I might add a little bit of sugar and more crystallized ginger pieces (perhaps 1/2 cups) to sweeten the deal.




Outstanding

I followed the recipe carefully, making 3 smaller gift loaves (they cook in about 40 minutes). I used a small chopper on the crystallized ginger and whipped the butter and sugar for about twice the recommended time. Allow it to cool and cut with a sharp knife. I will add this sophisticated and delightful tea bread to my holiday baking.




Great for breakfast muffins, too!!!

To "K" from Palm Harbor - "Yield" means number of servings and it is 18. Right on the recipe. This is delicious, moist and healthy. I put it into muffin tins and had them for brunch fare. Real hit!

This cake was great! It wasn't too sweet, so it would be great for breakfast in the morning, but it was also great for dessert. When I put the powdered sugar on top it looked great at first, but soon the cake began to absorb the sugar and the sugar became crusty looking and not all that attractive. I'd suggest decorating it with the powdered sugar right before it's served.
