How to Make Gingerbread Cake - The Victorian Way
???? Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: ????
Today we're in for a real treat. Mrs Crocombe is making one of her favourite recipes - a cheap and delicious Gingerbread Cake.
Visit Mrs Crocombe's kitchen:
INGREDIENTS
500g flour
200g butter (salted, or add a generous pinch of salt to compensate if unsalted)
200g brown sugar
500g black treacle
10-15g ginger
3 small eggs (or two large)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
A little warm milk
METHOD
Start by creaming the butter (stirring or beating the butter until it is a smooth, creamy and a uniform texture). Then, add the sugar and spice, ensuring that you mix them in well. Beat the eggs briefly before also adding to them to the mix.
Add flour a little at a time, mixing well between each handful. Pour in the black treacle as you go. A little warm water can be used to get the last of the black treacle out of the bowl. Then, add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda to the warm milk before pouring it into the middle of the bowl and mixing everything together.
Once the mixture is smooth, line a tin with butter and brown paper before pouring the mixture in. Place in the oven for about an hour at 180 degrees Celsius (an inserted knife or skewer should come out clean once the cake is cooked). Once ready, turn out the cake and leave it to cool, then cut into small pieces to serve. For decoration, try dusting with a little plain icing sugar or dipping the cake pieces in some fondant icing.

The Perfect Gingerbread Cake - The Royal Recipe
It amazes me how some food smells bring back memories. Whenever I smell someone baking gingerbread cake now it reminds me of walking home from school and entering the house to the smell of gingerbread cake my mother was baking. Oh it takes me back. Happy memories!
This recipe makes two cakes so refrigerate the second one (up to a month) or share it with family and friends. It's super easy to make, two pans and a bowl and the most moist, delicious, fragrant gingerbread cake I think you will ever have tasted. Try it. Link to the treacle and golden syrup below (but as say in the video, you don't have to use these)

***RECIPE, MAKES ONE LOAF ***
(Based on an old Joy of Cooking recipe)
1 cup (237 mL) milk or water
1/2 cup (118 mL) mollasses
1/2 cup (118 mL) honey
1/2 cup (one stick, 113g) butter
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (maybe 3/4 if using unsalted butter)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground ginger (use half if you don't want it very spicy)
a little finely-ground black pepper
Get your oven heating to 350ºF/180ºC. Prepare a 5x9 in (13x23 cm) loaf pan (or really any mid-size cake pan) by either greasing the inside or lining it with a parchment sling.
Pour the milk/water into a microwave-safe measuring jug, along with the molasses and honey. Drop in the butter in chunks. Microwave until the butter chunks are halfway melted, stir, and let them keep melting while you measure out the dry ingredients.
Put the flour in a mixing bowl along with the salt, baking powder and spices. Whisk to combine and fluff up the flour.
The butter should be melted now — put the sugar in with the wet ingredients along with the egg and stir until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk until just smooth.
Pour into the cake pan and bake for about an hour until done inside. The top usually looks a hair raw when the inside is perfect.
