Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 150 grams Blackstrap molasses (or dark treacle)
• 125 milliliters Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 120 grams Orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and molasses, stirring until combined and the sugar dissolves. Remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg together. Slowly pour in the cooled butter-molasses mixture while whisking continuously.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, using a spatula to fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the orange marmalade into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow the gingerbread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy your Marmalade Gingerbread!
