Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp allspice, ground
3 Tbsp jamaican ginger, ground
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 c unsalted butter, melted & cooled
2 c unsulphured blackstrap molasses
2 c evaporated milk
1 c dark brown sugar
4 eggs, well beaten
1 c crystallized ginger, finely chopped
to taste finely grated fresh ginger root

Steps:

  • 1. You will need 2 large bowls. The contents of the liquid ingredients bowl will be stirred into the dry ingredient bowl.
  • 2. Bowl #1: Flour, baking powder, allspice, Jamaican ginger, baking soda, and salt. Stir to blend well.
  • 3. Bowl #2: melted butter, molasses, evaporated milk, dark brown sugar, beaten eggs. Mix together thoroughly.
  • 4. Add to liquid mixture the chopped cystallized ginger.
  • 5. Add to liquid mixture sprinkling of grated ginger root. This ingredient gives a "kick" - it is optional.
  • 6. Stir the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir well.
  • 7. Loaf Pans: pour mixture into 2 9x5x3 loaf pans. Bake 350 for 40-45 minutes - center rack. Important to watch carefully at about 30 minutes, as this gingerbread should NOT be overbaked. It is helpful to place a pan of water on the rack below the center baking rack.
  • 8. Muffins: Pour into about 44 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes - center rack. It is helpful to place a pan of water on the rack below the center baking rack.
  • 9. Cool completely. Refrigerate/freeze for minimum of 48 hours to ripen ginger. Best if ripened at least a week. Freezes beautifully.
