Quick Gingerbread

This is a recipe I started doing on Christmas, and I did a lot. In fact, I have some slices in the freezer that I like to eat a bit warm with my tea.

It´s more like a coffee cake than a bread, and it´s very easy to do. It does not take more than 10 minutes if you have all the ingredients on hand.




I prepared in a very cute little silicone molds, but it can be baked in any coffee cake mold, cake mold or a muffin tin.

If you want them to last some days. keep them in a close container. But if they dry, soak them in your coffee, cold milk or tea, it´s also delicious.

- In a small saucepan put butter, sugar, cream cheese, milk, honey and melt over low heat until all melts. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit
