Triple Ginger Loaf Recipe

Triple Ginger Loaf

I just love the taste of ginger! Double ginger is even better. This Triple Ginger Loaf recipe is an absolute favourite – it uses fresh ginger, ground ginger and crystallised ginger, and looks absolutely amazing to bring out for visitors.

1 cup golden syrup
½ cup water
75g butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
½ tsp sea salt
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground mixed spice

Icing
60g butter
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp ground ginger

2 tbsp milk
½ tsp sea salt
¾ cup icing sugar
2 tbsp chopped crystallised ginger

Put the golden syrup, water, butter, brown sugar, fresh ginger and salt in a saucepan. Stir over a medium heat until the butter has melted.

Cool for about 10 minutes then whisk in the eggs.

Mix flour, baking soda and spices together in a large bowl. Add the liquid mixture and whisk until smooth.

Pour into a greased loaf tin and bake for about 30-40 minutes at 180C or until the top springs back when pressed lightly with a fingertip.

Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin.
