Card 1 Back of recipe RCA0009-20260629-0083
I baked a pan full of gingerbread
and left it on the stove to cool while
I went for a ride in the country.
When I got back, half the cake was
gone. Later that day, my sister and
her husband confessed that they
had taken half the gingerbread. It
was all right with me. Whatever I
have that somebody wants, they can
have it.

## Editor's Notes
- **"Orange and lemon juices"** referenced in instructions but only lemon juice (3 cups) appears in the ingredient list. Orange juice quantity absent from card; 2 cups fresh orange juice (approximately 6 oranges) inferred from recipe volume and citrus balance. The original Bon Appétit November 1990 source likely specified this quantity but it was not captured on the card. -
