Gingerbread loaf recipe
Ingredients
90 gm. unsalted butter
11/2 tablespoons golden syrup
125 ml semi-skimmed milk
100 gm. caster sugar
125 gm. plain flour
1 heaped tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
Preparation
Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and flour a
small loaf tin.
In a saucepan, combine the butter, syrup and milk. Bring to
the boil and then set aside.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and then add
the boiled mixture and stir well. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and place
in the oven.
Reduce the heat to 160°C / 320°F / Gas 3 and bake for 1 hour
or until cooked. To test if the loaf is cooked, put a skewer or sharp knife
into the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
