| GINGERBREAD By Lynn Aoki ******************* Lynn took and sent this picture so that we could see how her recipe should look after baking! Thanks so much Lynn!!! Recipe makes 2 loaves 1/2 lb margarine 350 ml Water 400g (1lb) Plain Flour Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour 250g (10oz) caster sugar (white granulated sugar) 250g (10oz) Sultanas (brown raisins) 250g (10oz) Raisins 2 Teaspoons of Ginger powder 2 Teaspoons of Mixed Spice powder 2 Teaspoons of Bicarbonate Of Soda 4 Large Eggs 1. Put Margarine, Water, Sugar, Sultanas, Raisins, Ginger powder, Mixed spice powder and Bicarbonate Of Soda into a pot Mix in and bring to the boil Simmer for 30 minutes. 2. Let mixture cool 3. Mix in two of the eggs 4. Mix in half the flour 5. Mix in the other two eggs 6.Mix in the rest of the flour. 7.Line two loaf tins with greaseproof paper Or spray loaf tins with cooking spray Divide the mixture equally between the two tins 8. Bake in the oven at 300 degrees F-160 degrees C-Gas mark 2 Bake for 1 HOUR Reduce the heat to 100 degrees F-70 degrees C- Gas mark 1 and bake for another HOUR (You will probably not need another hour. Keep checking every 10 min. after the first hour. It is ready when you put a skewer in to the center of the cake and get no residue on it 9. Remove from tin and cool on a wire rack or eat it hot with some cream or milk, or custard! It's delicious! Direct quote from Lynn: "I usually make two at a time, as it takes quite a while, and they freeze really well! Just half the ingredients to bake 1 loaf It's really very easy to make! ENJOY Lynn :-) !!! Thank you Lynn! Sounds very good indeed! Taste of the Tunnels Index Page |
