Equipment
- 1 x Loaf Tin
Ingredients
- 125 grams butter
- ⅔ cup golden syrup 160mls
- ¾ cup brown sugar 125 grams
- 1 ½ cups plain flour 225 grams
- ½ teaspoon bicarb soda
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon mixed spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
- Line a large loaf tin (approximately 10cm x 18cm) with baking paper and pre-heat your oven to 160 degrees celsius, fan-forced.
- In a large saucepan, add the golden syrup, butter and brown sugar. Add the bicarbonate of soda and whisk over a medium low heat until the mixture is smooth, taking care not to let it boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- Sift the flour, cinnamon, mixed spice and ginger over the melted ingredients and use a whisk to mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs to the saucepan and stir until combined.
- Pour the Gingerbread Loaf mixture into your prepared tin and lightly tap it on your bench to remove any air bubbles before gently smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the Gingerbread Loaf into the oven and cook for 1 hour or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Carefully remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
