How to Make Sticky Gingerbread

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4). Grease and flour a 20cm square baking tin.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the treacle, sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the coffee, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 75 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the gingerbread to cool slightly in the tin before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
