Ginger Loaf Cake

Ingredients

  • 180 g Gluten Free Plain Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Mixed Spice
  • 2 tbsp Milk (Lactose or Dairy Free)
  • ½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • 80 ml Water
  • 80 g Black Treacle
  • 80 g Golden Syrup
  • 80 g Dark Brown Soft Sugar
  • 80 g Butter (Lactose or Dairy Free)
  • 1 Egg
  • Icing Sugar & ½ Ground Ginger to Decorate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 3 or 170 degrees. 
  • Measure out the flour and the spices into a mixing bowl. 
  • Add the black treacle, golden syrup, dark brown soft sugar, butter and water to a pan and gently heat. Stir until it melts and mixes together. 
  • Pour your sugar mixture into the flour and spices and mix well. 
  • Add the milk, bicarbonate of soda and egg, then stir.  
  • Pour the mixture (it will be a liquid) into a loaf tin (lined with baking paper). 
  • Place in centre of the oven for between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes. For the last 15 minutes, place baking paper over the top of the cake to prevent it from burning. 
  • Once the cake is cool, prepare white icing using icing sugar and water. If you want this to have a slight ginger taste, add ½ ground ginger, then drizzle over the top of the cake.
