I am obsessed with all the ginger molasses baked treats right now! I made my Chewy Ginger Molasses Cookies twice already and have a batch in the freezer for Christmas. Now this loaf! It’s so good with a cup of latte in the afternoon! Every Gingerbread Cake has to have these two main ingredients: ginger and molasses.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 245 grams (1 and 3/4 cup) plain flour
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) sour cream or Greek-style yoghurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (360 F). Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch rectangular loaf pan with baking or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla, egg and molasses. Beat briefly until combined. Don’t worry if the batter goes a little lumpy.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger and cinnamon. Start to beat on a low speed. Slowly add milk and sour and continue to beat until cake batter is thick and creamy.
- Pour cake batter into prepared pan. Bake in the oven for approximately 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
