Gingerbread
« on: July 18, 2013, 01:45:54 am »
A soft, light coloured gingerbread.
Converted from an Alison Holst recipe

Gingerbread

Ingredients:
100g butter
100g soft brown sugar
100g boiling water
150g golden syrup
2 eggs
310g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
half tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:
Preaheat oven to 200degC and prepare a 23cm square baking dish.

Place butter, hot water, brown sugar and golden syrup into tmx bowl and mix 1min, 50deg, sp3, or until butter just melted (I used hot but not boiling water, and took about a min).
Add eggs and mix 10sec, sp3 until well combined.
Add dry ingredients and mix 10-20sec sp3 until combined - it's not a very thick mixture, so I found it mixed up pretty easily, just needed to scrape bowl sides a little.

Pour into baking tin and place in oven.  Reduce oven temp to 180deg and bake 25 min or until centre springs back when pressed.

Cool and serve (or serve hot with ice-cream/cream for a pudding)
We just had a few pieces for morning tea, slightly warm.  Simple and tasty.  :)

I have never thought of gingerbread as a cake, it looks very enticing.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Yes, I've only really had either gingerbread loaf or biscuits too.  But it was so easy (and slightly different) that I had to share  ;D
There is one little corner piece left now, so apparently it's not too bad.  ;)

I'm tempted to try making it as a loaf next time - I love slices of gingerbread loaf with butter.  :-[  This isn't as rich and gooey as the darker gingerbread loaf my mum makes, but still tasty.
