Bake this Gingerbread Loaf once and you’ll be jingling all the way back to the kitchen for slice after slice. Made using Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes, this holiday bake comes out merrily moist and tender, with warm spices that hit in all the right places — ginger forward, a little nutmeg, a hint of clove, and that rich molasses flavor to tie it all together. Bake a loaf to share with friends, neighbors, or anyone on your nice list. Each slice is filled with a hearty serving of whole grains, protein, and holiday cheer.

Ingredients Directions

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup molasses 
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 2 cups Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
  • 1 cup buttermilk 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease and flour the sides of a 9x5” loaf pan (or line with parchment paper).
  2. Place the butter in a large mixing bowl along with the brown sugar. Beat for 30 seconds, until well combined.
  3. Beat in the molasses. 
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, thoroughly mixing in after each addition. 
  5. Beat in the vanilla.
  6. Add the Kodiak mix, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves to a separate mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  7. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and beat just until combined.
  8. Beat in 1/2 of the buttermilk. Add the remaining flour mixture to the mix and beat in until just combined. Then, beat in the remaining buttermilk just until a smooth batter forms.
  9. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. 
  10. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, mounding the batter higher in the center.
  11. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until cracked on top and cooked through.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool completely before removing from the pan.
  13. Place the loaf on a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar.
  14. Slice and serve. Store in an airtight container.
