Iced Gingerbread Loaf

"An old-fashioned iced gingerbread loaf has been a Christmas staple for generations! It's moist, light, and warmly spiced with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and molasses, for an easy breakfast, snack, or dessert that you can make in advance. Finish the cake with a vanilla citrus glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar for a festive addition to any holiday spread! This gingerbread loaf recipe is a homemade copycat version of the Starbucks gingerbread loaf, which has been a seasonal favorite to pair with a warm latte in those great red cups! It includes a vanilla-orange (or vanilla-lemon) glaze, just like the store-bought version. Pair it with your own cup of hot coffee, tea, cocoa, or Wassail for the ultimate cozy treat at any time of day!"
