- Cold butter is key to the texture of these gingerbread loaves, so cube the butter before beginning the recipe and then let it chill until just before you cut it into the flour.
- Be sure to let the molasses and milk mixtures cool to lukewarm. You don't want the mixture hot, or it will throw off the texture of the gingerbread.
- Be sure to fully soften your butter and cream cheese for the frosting for the richest, creamiest texture.
- Mix the batter until it's well combined, but don't overdo it. You want everything fully combined but not overmixed to the point of absolute smoothness. That will make the gingerbread tough.
