3/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar and flour. Stir in melted butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add vanilla extract. Mix in baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger. Reserve 1/4 cup this mixture to be used as topping.
