Instructions
How to Make Ginger Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Whisk together flour, ground ginger, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Beat brown sugar and eggs in another bowl until fluffy and light. Add molasses and vegetable oil, mixing until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a fluffier texture. Avoid over-mixing the batter.
