This loaf is easy to prepare and comes together pretty quickly, which means you will be smelling the warm and delicious spices sooner.
What you will need:
GINGERBREAD LOAF
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted or oil
½ cup molasses
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk (sub with milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
VANILLA GLAZE
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp milk (more, as needed)
2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
GINGERBREAD LOAF
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter and molasses until incorporated. Beat in eggs until combined, then buttermilk and vanilla extract. Beat until thoroughly combined. (Mixture may look curdled.)
Stir wet mixture into the dry ingredients until combined, do not over mix.
Pour batter into prepared pan, and bake until a toothpick inserted into center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto cooling rack to finish cooling.
VANILLA GLAZE
Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Add more milk or confectioners' sugar as needed for desired consistency. Drizzle cooled cake with glaze.
Enjoy!
