It mentioned that Rose was having her 9th birthday and Mama was fixing her Gingerbread cake. That sounded yummy, so I googled a recipe........ I was in a hurry, so I chose one of the first that I saw. 
Everyday Best Gingerbread Cake
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted and cooled * 1/2 cup sugar * 1 egg * 2 1/2 cups flour * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda * 1 teaspoon cinnamon * 1 teaspoon ginger * 1/2 teaspoon cloves * 1/2 teaspoon salt * 1 cup molasses, light or dark * 1 cup hot water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (Preheat to 325 degrees when using a glass pan.) Spray an 8-by-8-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray. Mix melted and slightly cooled butter, sugar and egg and set aside. In a large bowl, sift dry ingredients. Combine molasses and hot water and stir to combine. Add flour mixture to butter-sugar mixture alternately with the molasses mixture and whisk to combine. Pour batter into pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan 5 minutes. Serve from the pan, or turn out onto a rack.
It was really quick and easy. If you try it, I sure hope that you'll enjoy it! The children are having the remaining pieces with hot chocolate for breakfast, tomorrow. I know, I know, it's only 85 degrees, here......... but we have hot chocolate year 'round! It's kind of a staple in this house!
Thank you, so much, for visiting!
Many Blessings,
Julie

LOL I thought I was the only one who drank hot chocolate all summer! It is just too good to give up for 6 months, isn't it?
That cake just smells so good. Okay, I can't REALLY smell it but I do have a vivid imagination and for one brief second I thought just maybe ... Well it does look yummy! My husband is going to love it!

I can smell the cake baking too. I love gingerbread cookies and cakes. I am going to have to make a blog recipe book. My fellow bloggers have so many good ones.
Hi Julie! Mmmm, your cake sounds yummy! And how perfect for the Gingerbread Pumpkin to have gingerbread cake! Is that a Little House book? The original series are some of my all time favorite books. We've recently read them with my 6 year old daughter and I love sharing them with her. Is this one of the new books? I've been curious about them. I hope you'll let me know if it's a good one.
Yum! That looks scrumptious. Who cares if it's 85! My ILs are coming over soon and I was trying to think of foods that would serve many and not cost so much. I came up with lasagna and potato soup. We wouldn't eat those together, but spread them out over a couple of days. I typically think of them as wintery foods though.
And who could knock hot chocolate any time of the year? Yum!
I posted pics of the fabric just now since blogger decided to do it this morning, lol.
