Taste of Thursday with Petite Kitchen: Old Fashioned Gingerbread Loaf
This recipe for Old Fashioned Gingerbread Loaf is easy to make, and has an incredibly light yet moist texture. It is subtly sweetened with dates and has a lovely spiced ginger kick, making it naturally free of dairy, gluten, refined sugar and wheat.
I enjoyed mine with a big smear of homemade jam. A comforting loaf for the cold winter days.
2 cups of ground hazelnuts*
5 free range eggs
1 cup medjool dates, soaked for at least 2 hours then drained well
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp baking soda
*you could also use ground almonds or ground nuts of your choice.
Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
Place the ground hazelnuts eggs, dates, ginger, apple cider vinegar and baking soda in to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
Pour the batter in to the prepared loaf tin. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted.
Gently lift out of the loaf tin, and leave to cool on a cooling rack.
