Every year during the holidays I make food gifts for our neighbors. Usually I do pie, cake, cookies, or some kind of pastry that I think they'll enjoy. I always try to make something different, too, and include the recipe so our neighbors can make it in the future if they enjoy mine.
I haven't decided what to make for this year, but I'm currently testing some new possibilities, like this gingerbread coffee cake recipe. I liked it, especially as the cake wasn't too sweet as promised in the recipe notes. My only reservations are that the icing was far too sweet, and the chopped crystalized ginger too spicy. I might try making it again with a few tweaks to tone down the toppings; it might be better with a very thing, light lemon-flavored icing drizzle. In the meantime, I'm still looking.
