In this video, I'll show you how to make a delicious gingerbread loaf with fresh ginger. This recipe is easy to follow and perfect for aspiring cooks or anyone who wants to improve their baking skills.

If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor won't be as intense.

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled, so you can make a big batch to share with friends and family.

Let's start by gathering our ingredients.

We'll need:

300 grams plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

360mL milk

1.5 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon mixed spice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

60 grams fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons treacle

5 tablespoons golden syrup

150 grams butter, softened

1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 egg

Once we have our ingredients, we'll start by making the batter. We'll whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and grated ginger. Then, we'll add the treacle, golden syrup, butter, and egg and whisk until everything is combined.

The batter needs to sit for two hours before baking, so plan ahead and you can use any type of loaf pan you like, but a 9x5-inch pan will give you a nice tall loaf.

The batter will be quite stiff, but that's okay. We'll pour it into a greased and lined loaf pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the loaf is baked, we'll let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This gingerbread loaf is perfect for afternoon tea or as a dessert. It's moist, flavorful, and has a hint of spice from the fresh ginger.

I hope you enjoy it!
