Ingredients

  • 500g flour

  • 10g baking powder

  • 150g sugar

  • milk

  • 2 tbsp cinnamon

  • 3 tbsp premixed gingerbread spice (see notes to make it yourself)

  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves

  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom

  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 tsp ginger

  • pinch of salt

Directions

  • DO NOT preheat the oven.
  • Mix all dry ingredients together including spices and salt.
  • Add milk until the batter is just a little thicker than cake batter. When you let the batter run off your spoon it will break instead of running of in one go.
  • Grease a baking tray and cover with flour so that the cake will not stick. Pour the batter into the baking tray and put in the oven. Turn on the oven to 150°C and bake for one hour. The cake is ready when you can put in a stick and it comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely and serve with a thick layer of butter or just as it is.
  • You can experiment with this recipe by adding apple, pear or nuts and raisins.

Notes

  • If you don’t have gingerbread spice you can mix the following ground spices together: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, anise seed, white pepper, coriander seed (just a little), ginger, cardamom. Don’t worry if you don’ t have every spice.
  • For all spices mentioned, add more or less according to how spicy and flavorful you like your cake.
