Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 23

CRUMB TOPPING
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
3/4 c all purpose flour
CAKE
2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp instant coffee
2/3 c milk
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 c light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 Tbsp molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 c whole fresh or frozen cranberries
1 pkg cool whip (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. CRUMB TOPPING: In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and ginger on medium speed electric mixer for about 1 minute. On low speed, stir in flour until just mixed in and crumbs begin to form, about 15 seconds. DO NOT OVERMIX. Mixture should be crumbly, not smooth. Set aside.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square pan with vegetable cooking spray.
  • 3. CAKE: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves together; set aside. In a small bowl mix coffee with a small amount of milk to dissolve, then stir in remaining milk. Set aside.
  • 4. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat butter and brown sugar until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in eggs, molasses, and vanilla until blended, about 2 minutes. The mixture may look curdled. On low speed add half the flour mixture, mixing to incorporate. Stir the reserved coffee-milk to make sure the coffee is dissolved, and add to the batter, mixing just until blended. Add the remaining flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated and the batter is smooth. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Spoon cranberries over the batter. Sprinkle reserved crumb topping over the cranberries.
  • 5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the buckle comes out clean. The top may still look wet, so be sure to use the toothpick test. Cool in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve slightly warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for forming the scones
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling the scones
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/3 cup molasses
1 large egg, separated
1/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • For the cranberry butter: Combine the butter, cranberry sauce, orange juice and zest and salt in a medium bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon to combine. (You can also use a mini food processor or mixer.) Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the scones: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Scatter in the butter pieces and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle in the chopped crystallized ginger. Whisk together, then add in the molasses, egg yolk and buttermilk. Pulse just until a loose dough forms. Mound the dough into a floured work surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into an 8-inch round. Cut into 12 wedges and transfer to the baking sheet. Beat the egg white until foamy. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until the bottoms of the scones are golden brown and the top has a crackly sugar crust, about 18 to 22 minutes. Serve warm with the cranberry orange butter.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 26 (4 ounce) jars

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra butter at room temperature for greasing the pan
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 cup molasses
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup crystallized ginger
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cranberry juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large egg yolks
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pats
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the gingerbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch cake pan with a little softened butter and line with parchment paper, letting any excess hang over the edges of the pan.
  • Place the orange juice and raisins in a measuring cup and set aside to soak. In a mixing bowl add the melted butter, molasses and sour cream, whisking until well combined. Add 1 2/3 cups of flour, the ginger, baking soday, cinnamon, cloves and salt and whisk together until combined. Drain the raisins, then add them to the batter along with the remaining 1 cup of flour and the crystallized ginger. Combine with a silicone spatula, then pour into the prepared pan and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and set aside to cool completely before cutting the cake into 1-inch cubes.
  • While the cake bakes, make the cranberry curd: Into a saucepan set over medium heat, add the sugar, cranberry juice and salt and whisk until smooth. Once the sugar is dissolved, whisk in the egg yolks, then add the butter. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the cranberry curd thickens and reaches 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat and transfer the curd to a bowl to cool.
  • To assemble: Place a few pieces of the gingerbread cubes in a small jar, add 2 tablespoons of the cranberry curd on top of the gingerbread and top with whipped cream.

STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD



Sticky Cranberry Gingerbread image

Sticky, spicy and full of cranberries, this gingerbread is perfect for the holidays. The recipe has been designed to make ahead, and will taste as good 2 days after baking as it does on the same day. (It will keep for 4 to 5 days.) To store it, wrap it well, stick it in the fridge and then bring to room temperature before serving. Whipped cream or crème fraîche, spiked with a little bourbon if you like, is nice on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups/8 ounces/266 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 stick/4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter
2/3 cup/133 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters maple syrup
1/4 cup/60 milliliters molasses
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon/5 grams ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon/1 gram ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams baking powder
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon/1 gram baking soda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon/14 grams grated fresh ginger (from 1-inch piece)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
  • In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
  • In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
  • Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.
