Gingerbread with Chantilly Cream image

An old-fashioned family favorite, this treat has never lost its popularity during the holidays. A blend of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg make the bread extra flavorful...and my guests always comment on the "cute" dollop of whipped cream on top! -Pam Holloway, Marion, Louisiana

I'm not a big fan of gingerbread, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so moist and flavorful.

The gingerbread was a bit too dry for my taste, but the Chantilly cream was amazing.
