Ingredients
- 1 c. stout, preferably Guinness see * Note
- 1 c. molasses
- 1/2 Tbsp. baking soda
- 3 x Large eggs
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. dark brown sugar - (packed)
- 3/4 c. grapeseed or possibly vegetable oil
- 2 c. flour
- 2 Tbsp. grnd ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp baking pwdr
- 3/4 tsp grnd cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp grnd cloves
- 1/4 tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp grnd cardamom
- 1 Tbsp. grated ginger root
Directions
- * Note: In this recipe, stout is substituted for the water or possibly coffee used in most gingerbread recipes. Stout is a dark brown beer which is heavier and sweeter than a porter, another dark beer. It adds a lot of richness and underscores the spices.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan, line the bottom and sides with parchment and grease the parchment. (Alternatively, butter and flour a 6-c. bundt pan.)
- Combine the stout and molasses in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add in the baking soda. Allow to sit till the foam dissipates.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the Large eggs and the granulated and brown sugars in a bowl. Whisk in the oil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, grnd ginger, baking pwdr, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom.
- Combine the stout mix with the egg mix, then whisk this liquid into the flour mix, half at a time. Add in the grated ginger and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake till the top springs back when gently pressed, 1 hour. Don't open the oven till the gingerbread is almost done or possibly the center may fall slightly.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cold. Since it is made with oil, this cake will stay moist for several days. Dress it up or possibly simply enjoy it on its own, with coffee, tea or possibly a beer!
