I was disappointed with this recipe. The gingerbread was dry and the lemon sauce was too tart. I would not recommend this recipe.

This gingerbread with lemon sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. The gingerbread itself was good, but the lemon sauce was a bit overwhelming. I think I would try making it again with less sugar in the sauce.
