Gingerbread Loaf recipe
The holidays wouldn’t be complete without the wonderful aroma of gingerbread baking . It fill your house and soon will fill your tummy with holiday goodness 🙂 You saw it in the wordless Wednesday post above, now you can make some too. I had this wonderful recipe in my collection and knew it was one I wanted to share with you.♥
What You Need
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ginger (ground)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cardamom ( ground)
1/4 tsp cinnamon (ground)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (ground)
1 cup low-fat milk (warmed to 100° to 110°)
1/2 cup molasses
1/4 cup canola oil
3 Tbsp prunes (puréed)
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
3/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup golden raisins
Non stick cooking spray
2 Tbsp finely chopped walnuts
Large Mixing Bowl
Medium mixing bowl
Whisk
9x 5 loaf pan
Wire cooling rack ( optional)
Thermometer
Before You Start : Preheat oven to 350°. Spray inside of loaf pan with cooking spray.
Let’s Make It! In a large mixing bowl combine flours, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix together. In a medium mixing bowl combine milk molasses, canola oil, prunes, and eggs. Mix well with a whisk stirring until well blended. Add sugar, stirring until well blended. With the back of a spoon or your hand make a well in center of flour mixture. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in raisins. Scrape batter into loaf pan .Sprinkle walnuts in a 2 1/2-inch-wide strip down center of loaf. Bake about an hour ( or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.) Cool loaf in pan (on a wire rack works best)
Serves about 12 slices
You are so right – the holidays wouldn’t be complete without the tantalizing aroma of gingerbread baking. Pinned!
Wow, this looks fantastic! Yum!
Stopping by to say Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have a wonderful one! Also, I tried out this recipe yesterday and it was fabulous! I wanted to make something like this, and glancing down the ingredients list I happened to have all of them on hand (minus the puree'd prunes which I substituted with applesauce). Also added fresh ginger, purple raisins, and topped with crushed almonds. It turned out amazing, thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I am going to star this one and try it soon.
Wish I could reach through the screen and snatch a bite…Merry Christmas Kate. I pray your New Year will be filled with blessings and creatve thoughts.Dee
