A nutty version of the classic gingerbread that's wonderfully moist and full of flavour. It's spiced with ground ginger and allspice and sweetened with raw sugar and molasses. The earthy toasted hazelnuts complement this tender, robustly flavoured gingerbread perfectly. The use of molasses adds real depth of flavour and creates a slightly sticky exterior that's just irresistible. Enjoy on its own or with custard or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. You can also take this holiday cake up a notch with this 6-Week Long Maturing Spelt Gingerbread Loaf if you could plan ahead and so you're not trying to do it all at the last minute!

  • 175 g Unsalted butter
  • 100 g Raw brown sugar
  • 100 g Molasses (or golden syrup/honey)
  • 250 ml Wholemilk
  • 210 g All purpose flour
  • 50 g Ground hazelnut, toasted
  • 1 tbsp Ground ginger
  • 1 tsp Allspice, ground
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 100 g Hazelnuts, roasted
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease and flour a 20x10cm loaf pan or line the pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, raw sugar, molasses, and milk. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Sieve the flour, ground hazelnuts, ginger, allspice and baking soda into a large bowl. Stir in the boiled mixture until just blended. Fold the roasted hazelnuts into the batter and pour into the prepared pan.
  4. Turn down the oven to 160C/320F and bake for about 70 minutes or until the top of the loaf springs back when lightly touched and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

    It does not look appetizing on the eye, but I bet it tastes like heaven, soft and moist and with them hazelnuts fragrant and comforting.

    OMG! This looks and sounds amazing - and it will be all for me, as hubbie doesn't like ginger! :)

    I did have to double check, but here in the UK, we know molasses as black treacle and it is something I haven't tasted since I was a child, when Mum used to bake with it a lot.

    The nuts are always a good added option for me too, so it's a winner all round and thanks for sharing! :)
