Christmas Gingerbread Loaf

A moist Gingerbread Loaf made with brown sugar, molasses and sweet spices like ginger and cinnamon. This gorgeous gingerbread cake is super easy to make – perfect for Christmas!
And just like that it’s 5 sleeps until Christmas 🎄

Spiced with ginger and cinnamon, this Gingerbread Loaf Cake is my everything. I always knew that I loved Gingerbread Cookies. Soft and chewy and spiced with ginger and molasses, they’re one of the BEST Christmas treats.

But all the mouthwatering flavour comes from deliciously rich molasses that mixes with butter and brown sugar for a deep caramel flavour. Add a handful of spices and you have the perfect Gingerbread Cake.
