More Info

This is a fragrant spice blend to make a moreish spicy gingerbread loaf. You can eat it warm from the oven with whipped cream or ice cream, or wrap it and leave it for a few days where it will develop more flavour and become even richer and stickier!
Recipe

You Need:

125g butter
200ml milk (any type)
2 eggs (any size) - beaten
100g chopped preserved or glacé ginger (optional)
225g black treacle or molasses
150g sugar (brown sugar is best)
225g self-raising flour, or use 225g plain flour plus 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Whipped cream or ice cream to serve

Method:

Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3 and grease and line a loaf tin (approx 2lb)

Mix the flour (and bicarbonate of soda, if using) with the STICKY GINGERBREAD BLEND and a pinch of salt

Heat the butter with the black treacle and sugar, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved

Stir the melted butter mixture into the spiced flour with the chopped preserved ginger (if using)

Stir in the beaten eggs and milk until you have a smooth, runny mixture

Pour the mixture into the lined loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes or until the top is slightly cracked and a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean (cover with foil if the top is browning before the centre is cooked through)

Leave to cool then serve in slices with a spoonful of whipped cream or ice cream (store the remaining gingerbread in an airtight tin as the flavour and texture will improve over time)

Heat rating: 1/5
Spices included

Absolutely delicious - I was a little skeptical as my normal recipe uses a treacle/golden syrup blend and I wondered if the pure treacle might be a bit much but I shouldn't have worried! The hint of chilli just enhances the warmth of the ginger and it goes wonderfully sticky after a day or two.

Super yummy cake. Lots of family members, even those that don't particularly like ginger loved this cake. I used the whole free sample, not sure if I was supposed to as I now read, one portion!!!!! However was so so tasty. Definitely making again, just hope it lasts longer before all eaten and no time to get sticky ........

What can I say? We love this Spicery blend. The gingerbread cake is delicious, tasty and certainly morish. It’s lovely with cream or ice cream or my favourite - a bit of butter.
