Description<\/h3>\n\nSoft, moist, and deeply spiced gingerbread loaf made with rich molasses and warm winter spices, then finished with a simple orange icing drizzle. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert, and easily adaptable into muffins.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n
\n\n\n\n- Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (177\u00b0C). Grease an 8\u00d74-inch<\/a> or 9\u00d75-inch loaf pan<\/a>. (I use and recommend 8\u00d74-inch or 8.5\u00d74.5-inch.)\u00a0 Set aside.<\/li>\n
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper together until combined. Set aside.<\/li>\n
- In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk the molasses and hot water together.<\/li>\n
- 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
- 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
- Make the\u00a0icing:<\/strong> Whisk the confectioners\u2019 sugar and orange juice together until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf.<\/li>\n
- 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
\n\nNotes<\/h3>\n\n\n- Make Ahead & 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
- Special Tools<\/strong> (affiliate links):\u00a09\u00d75-inch Loaf Pan<\/a> or 8\u00d74-inch Loaf Pan<\/a> | Glass Mixing Bowls<\/a> | Whisk<\/a> | Electric Mixer (Handheld<\/a> or Stand<\/a>) | Silicone Spatula<\/a> | Cooling Rack<\/a><\/li>\n
- 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 pumpkin pie<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Molasses:<\/strong> 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
- 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 gingerbread cupcakes<\/a> and gingerbread muffins<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- 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 vanilla icing<\/a> instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
