Whip up a wonderfully spiced gingerbread loaf with minimal cleanup using this simple one-bowl recipe perfect for busy holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Beat in the egg and molasses until smooth.
  5. Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is uniform. The batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • The batter will be quite thin; this is normal for a moist gingerbread.
  • Use quality molasses for the best deep flavor.
  • For an extra treat, drizzle with a simple lemon glaze after cooling.
