Soft Gingerbread Loaf
Gina really is our queen of baking and this cake is no exception. Make sure you check out all of her recipes on this site as well as visiting her on her own website The Passionate Pantry.
The combo of rice bran syrup, which really is very tasteless with the black strap molasses has created not only an amazing texture, but a fantastic colour and taste (or course) Thanks Geens, you did it again!
