This spiced gingerbread loaf is a bit of a take on the classic gingerbread biscuit. It’s spicy, squishy and fragrant, and goes perfectly with tea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100 g ginger (, minced)
  • 150 g castor sugar
  • 200 g coconut oil
  • 250 g molasses
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 225 mL boiling water
  • 300 g all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 eggs (, lightly beaten)
  • 80 g crystallised ginger (, chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180ºC. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut oil and molasses. In a smaller bowl, combine the boiling water with baking soda. Allow it to dissolve before adding it into the sugar and oil mixture. Whisk everything to combine – it should bubble up.
  3. Add the fresh ginger and whisk to combine.
  4. Sift over the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon and cloves and stir to just combine. Do not overwork your batter.
  5. Add the lightly beaten eggs and stir to combine. Finally, fold in the chopping crystallised ginger. Pour everything into your prepared tin and bake for one hour and 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool.
