Ingredients for Apple Cider Gingerbread

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cup molasses
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cup crystallized ginger (finely chopped)

How to Make Apple Cider Gingerbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup apple cider, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup molasses, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and ½ cup crystallized ginger (finely chopped).
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a fork or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the gingerbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
