Looking for an authentic " Ginger bread Loaf" Recipe

One of my best memories of my Mum (now Passed) when my Brother and I were wee, was sitting at the stove on a cold fall or winter night, waiting for the loafs of Homemade Gingerbread to come out of the oven. We were allowed one piece each straight out of the oven with butter dripping through it, because my mother swore that more before it had cooled would give us a terrible stomach ache. If I think about it hard enough I swear I can still smell it baking. Unfortunately this recipe was never found as my Mum did alot of baking pasted down from watching my Granny and I don't know if there ever was a recipe written out. I've tried several recipes but none compare to the one of my childhood. So Thanks so much to anyone who has a good old fashioned recipe.

Hi Janice,
I will certainly try to find this recipe for you - as I remember it myself. But I'm moving your submission to the 'share a recipe' section with the hope that someone else will be able to share this recipe with us all.
Kind regards
May
