There\u2019s plenty of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. I also add a pinch of black pepper. I love it so much in my <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/the-great-pumpkin-pie-recipe\/\" rel=\"noopener\">pumpkin pie<\/a>, I figured why not in gingerbread too? There\u2019s not much\u2014only 1\/8 teaspoon\u2014but just enough to make this a <strong>super<\/strong> spiced gingerbread, unlike any others I\u2019ve ever tried.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsulphured<\/strong> <strong>Molasses:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2024\/12\/16\/light-dark-blackstrap-molasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Molasses comes in varying intensities<\/a>, ranging from light to dark to blackstrap. Just like for these <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/iced-gingerbread-oatmeal-cookies\/\" rel=\"\">gingerbread oatmeal cookies<\/a>, for today\u2019s loaf we\u2019re using dark molasses, also sold as \u201crobust\u201d or \u201cfull flavor\u201d molasses. A couple brands I like: Grandma\u2019s Robust Molasses and Brer Rabbit Full Flavor Molasses. I do not recommend using blackstrap molasses, which can be too strong and bitter. If you want a slightly sweeter, milder flavor, use a molasses that\u2019s labeled \u201clight\u201d or \u201cmild,\u201d such as Grandma\u2019s Original.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> We use hot water to thin out the molasses and provide some liquid for the gingerbread batter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Adds flavor and moisture. Make sure it\u2019s properly <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/room-temperature-butter\/\" rel=\"noopener\">softened to room temperature<\/a> before beginning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar:<\/strong> I recommend using dark brown sugar for extra molasses flavor and moisture. If all you have is light brown, that\u2019s completely fine!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> One egg binds everything together.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> A must!

Be sure to mix the molasses with hot water to break it down and thin it out, then incorporate it into the wet ingredients alternating with the dry ingredients. The batter is slightly thin.<\/p>\n<p>Use an 8\u00d74-inch or 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan. The <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+AgYtFiSTozdODLszsriktA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">loaf pan in these photos<\/a> is 8.5\u00d74.5-inch and that size works as well!

The gingerbread itself is moist, deeply spiced, and not overly sweet, so the loaf is just as delicious plain. That said, I highly suggest the citrus icing because it adds a light, fragrant contrast to the molasses and warm spices. The icing is made with just 2 ingredients: orange juice and confectioners\u2019 sugar. If you prefer, you can top with <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/vanilla-icing\/\">vanilla icing<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And if you\u2019d like to dress it up with a little holiday sparkle, top the gingerbread loaf with <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/sugared-cranberries\/\">sugared cranberries<\/a>. It\u2019s also delicious with a spiced cream cheese frosting, like we use on this (very similar!) <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/gingerbread-cake-recipe\/\">gingerbread cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left heading-star\">Success Tips for the Best Gingerbread Loaf<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Use dark (robust) molasses, not blackstrap; this is key for flavor without bitterness.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure the butter is properly softened so it creams smoothly with the brown sugar. See <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/room-temperature-butter\/\">room temperature butter<\/a> for more information if you\u2019re interested.<\/li>\n<li>Use dark brown sugar for even deeper flavor. It\u2019s what I use and recommend.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid overbaking. Start checking at the low end; a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/spiced-gingerbread-loaf\/?tp_image_id=156562\" data-pin-description=\"Soft, moist spiced gingerbread loaf with rich molasses flavor and a sweet orange icing drizzle.

Grease an <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+AgYtFiSTozdODLszsriktA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">8\u00d74-inch<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XHZVCg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">9\u00d75-inch loaf pan<\/a>. (I use and recommend 8\u00d74-inch or 8.5\u00d74.5-inch.)\u00a0 Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper together until combined. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk the molasses and hot water together.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed until creamed together, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the hot water\/molasses, and mixing each addition just until incorporated. Avoid over-mixing; a few small lumps are OK. Batter will be slightly thin. Pour and spread the batter into prepared pan.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Bake for 50\u201360 minutes (or 55\u201365 minutes for a smaller 8\u00d74-inch pan), or until the gingerbread loaf is baked through. All ovens are different, and your loaf may take a little more or less time. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean with just a few moist (not wet) crumbs, it\u2019s done.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\"><strong>Make the\u00a0icing:<\/strong> Whisk the confectioners\u2019 sugar and orange juice together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Leftover loaf\u00a0keeps well covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavor gets even better after a day or two!<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr style=\"border-color: #BEB9B7 !important; background-color: #BEB9B7 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"secondary-color.border-color secondary-color.background-color\"\/>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead &amp; Freezing Instructions:<\/strong> The loaf can be baked, cooled, and covered tightly at room temperature overnight. The loaf can be frozen (without icing) for up to 2 months. Wrap the cooled loaf in a layer of plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Thaw overnight (still wrapped) in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature before icing and serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Special Tools<\/strong> (affiliate links):\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XHZVCg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">9\u00d75-inch Loaf Pan<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+AgYtFiSTozdODLszsriktA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">8\u00d74-inch Loaf Pan<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mPQvWq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Glass Mixing Bowls<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qUwG1Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Whisk<\/a> | Electric Mixer (<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3W5TmJc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Handheld<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OMbx3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Stand<\/a>) | <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+2pySoGFcnTR3zL6a9o61jQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Silicone Spatula<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gT7aW9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">Cooling Rack<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I Leave Out the Black Pepper?<\/strong> Yes, you can skip it. I like it in this loaf because it deepens the spice flavor, similar to how it accentuates the spices in <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/the-great-pumpkin-pie-recipe\/\">pumpkin pie<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Molasses:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kingarthurbaking.com\/blog\/2024\/12\/16\/light-dark-blackstrap-molasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Molasses comes in varying intensities<\/a>, ranging from light to dark to blackstrap. For today\u2019s loaf we\u2019re using dark molasses, also sold as \u201crobust\u201d or \u201cfull flavor\u201d molasses. A few brands I like: Grandma\u2019s Robust Molasses, Brer Rabbit Full Flavor Molasses, or Wholesome!\u2019s Organic Molasses. I do not recommend using blackstrap molasses, which can be too strong and bitter. If you want a slightly sweeter, milder flavor, use a molasses that\u2019s labeled \u201clight\u201d or \u201cmild,\u201d such as Grandma\u2019s Original.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Muffins or Cupcakes:<\/strong> Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Pour the batter into the liners. Bake at 350\u00b0F (177\u00b0C) for 20\u201322 minutes. Makes about 10\u201312. I also have separate recipes for <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/gingerbread-cupcakes\/\">gingerbread cupcakes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/gingerbread-muffins-with-sweet-lemon-glaze\/\">gingerbread muffins<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional Icing:<\/strong> The gingerbread itself is moist, deeply spiced, and not overly sweet, so the loaf is just as delicious plain. That said, I highly suggest the citrus icing because it adds a light, fragrant contrast to the molasses and warm spices. If you prefer, you can top with <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/vanilla-icing\/\">vanilla icing<\/a> instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soft, moist, and intensely flavored, this gingerbread loaf is packed with molasses, ginger, and cozy winter spices, then finished with a sweet orange icing.
