This gingerbread was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless. The chocolate drizzle didn't help much either.

The flavor of the gingerbread was good, but the texture was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I might try a different recipe next time.

This gingerbread was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. The chocolate drizzle helped to add some moisture, but overall it was just okay.
