Churchie's Gingerbread

The most delicious gingerbread showed up in my mailbox today. It came from Carly in California, who not only baked it, but generously sent along the recipe, too. Unfortunately, I can't cook, but I have friends who can, and they've promised to make me more gingerbread after I've finished Carly's. Hurray for people who cook! And thanks, Carly!
