Gingerbread Loaf


This is an excellent textured loaf, ideal for slicing without crumbling.
Double the amount of ginger powder for a more intense flavour.


Preheat oven to 160'. Line a loaf tin (1 litre capacity) with baking paper.

In medium size saucepan, heat until melted -

▶180gm unsalted butter
▶3 tblsps golden syrup
▶1 cup superfine sugar
▶1 cup milk

Into a mixing bowl, sift together -

▶2 cups plain flour
▶1 tblsp ginger powder
▶1 tsp allspice powder
▶1 tsp bicarb. soda powder

Gently mix the melted liquid into the dry ingredients to form a soft batter. Pour into loaf tin and bake for 1 hour or until cooked through. Lift out from tin, cool.

To serve, slice and butter.
