DARK JAMAICAN GINGERBREAD



Dark Jamaican Gingerbread image

This cake, originally from the sugar-and-spice island of Jamaica, has sadly become a factory-made clone, but made at home it's dark, sticky, fragrant with ginger - the real thing.

Categories     Cake Recipes     Father's Day     Gluten free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

175g plain flour, sifted
1 level tablespoon ground ginger
1 level dessertspoon ground cinnamon
¼ nutmeg, grated
½ level teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2 tablespoons milk
75g black treacle
75g golden syrup
75g dark brown soft sugar
75g block butter
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Begin by placing the tin of black treacle (without a lid) in a saucepan of barely simmering water to warm it and make it easier to measure (see this recipe for weighing treacle). Sift the flour and spices into a large bowl, then mix the bicarbonate of soda with the milk and set it on one side. Now measure the black treacle, golden syrup, sugar and butter into a saucepan with 75ml of water, heat and gently stir until thoroughly melted and blended - don't let it come anywhere near the boil and don't go off and leave it! Next add the syrup mixture to the flour and spices, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon, and when the mixture is smooth, beat in the egg a little at a time, followed by the bicarbonate of soda and milk. Now pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on a lower shelf so that the top of the tin is aligned with the centre of the oven for 1¼-1½ hours until it's well-risen and firm to the touch. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out. If possible, store it in a cake tin, still in its lining, for 24 hours before eating, and serve it cut in thick slices spread with butter.

  • Preheat the oven to 340 F. Butter a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. I used a pan that measures 10 inches long, 5 1/2 inches wide, and 2 3/4 inches deep. (This is a 2-lb tin in the UK.)
  • Pour the molasses, golden syrup, dark brown sugar, and butter into a saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the butter is melted, taking care not to let it boil.
  • Pour the syrup mixture into the sifted flour mixture, then stir well with a spoon or spatula to combine.
