Rich and fragrant gingerbread loaf ready for the festive build up. Easy, moist, spongy cake you won't believe is gluten-free!
Ingredients
2 tbsp. Chia Seeds
2 cups
Gluten Free Plain Flour
(we used Doves Farm)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
1¼ tsp baking powder
1 tbsp. ground ginger
1 tsp each: cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg
½ tsp salt
½ cup non-dairy margarine (or coconut oil)
¾ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
1 cup apple puree*
Topping (optional)
2 tbsp. melted coconut butter
1 tbsp. chopped dried cranberries
Instructions
Firstly, make your chia-egg. Mix the chia seeds with 6 tbsp. water
Pre-heat your oven to 325C/170F/Gas Mark 3 and grease your loaf tin with a little vegan margarine
Whisk together GF flour, baking powder, soda, xanthan gum, spices and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the margarine and coconut sugar until smooth
Add the molasses, apple puree and stir in the chia-egg
Stir & fold the wet mixture into the flour until fully incorporated
Smooth down into the loaf tin and bake for 45-55mins or until a toothpick comes out of the cake with just a few crumbs.
Keep in a air-tight container for 3-4 days
