Gingerbread

This dairy-free gingerbread isn't only for winter!

© 2008 Ashley Skabar, licensed to About.com, Inc.

Nothing makes your home feel as warm and inviting as the scent of sweet, spiced gingerbread in the oven, and few quick breads signal comfort quite like this traditional wintertime loaf. Serve this warm or at room temperature, and for a sweeter treat, try frosting the bread with my dairy-free cream cheese frosting.

Makes one 9" x 5" loaf

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup white flour
  • ¾ cups sugar
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • ¼ t. salt
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup oil
  • ½ cup rice milk
  • 1 T. apple cider vinegar

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a 9 “ x 5” loaf pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until well combined.

3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, rice milk and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.

Missing items in Instructions, but turned out okay, Member tiffstitch

The first thing I noticed was this ""ginger""bread recipe didn't call for ginger. So I added 1/2 tsp to the dry ingredients. Also the recipe doesn't mention what you're supposed to do with the molasses. I did add it to the wet ingredients, but it wasn't pretty. The wet ingredients don't really combine. When added to the dry stuff though the ingredients did combine well. I had to cook the bread over 10 minutes longer than the recipe specified, although my oven was fully pre-heated. Possibly because I had to cook it longer the bread turned out dry.
