(Based on an old Joy of Cooking recipe) 1 cup (237 mL) milk or water 1/2 cup (118 mL) mollasses 1/2 cup (118 mL) honey 1/2 cup (one stick, 113g) butter 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar 1 egg 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt (maybe 3/4 if using unsalted butter) 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons ground ginger (use half if you don't want it very spicy) a little finely-ground black pepper Get your oven heating to 350 F/180 C. Prepare a 5x9 in (13x23 cm) loaf pan (or really any mid-size cake pan) by either greasing the inside or lining it with a parchment sling. Pour the milk/water into a microwave-safe measuring jug, along with the molasses and honey. Drop in the butter in chunks. Microwave until the butter chunks are halfway melted, stir, and let them keep melting while you measure out the dry ingredients. Put the flour in a mixing bowl along with the salt, baking powder and spices. Whisk to combine and fluff up the flour. The butter should be melted now put the sugar in with the wet ingredients along with the egg and stir until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk until just smooth. Pour into the cake pan and bake for about an hour until done inside. The top usually looks a hair raw when the inside is perfect.

Dare I say, you summoned forth my upside down smile by not going out of your way to procure an adorable holiday hunny bear for this video, you Christmas ruining Grinch! And as you pour dry gingerbread ingredients into your mixing bowl, said summoned upside down grin is still resting pretty comfortably upon my angry face.
Ahhh naa never mind! You won me back with wubba wubba! (Speaking of wubba wubba, who here remembers MTV vj Julie Brown? God I m old ) Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Ragusea clan!

We have a similar cake in Denmark called honey cake, but it is made by mixing the Honey and the flour and letting it ferment for months before adding the rest of the ingredients and baking it. It's a truly bizarre, but delicious cake. It is said that the dough was allowed to ferment for a year back in the day, now most bakeries probably start around October.

Have you thought about doing a cheesecake recipe? I'd love to see you do one! I have always struggled to know when a cheesecake is done baking. The recipe always says it should jiggle or wobble in the middle, but I don't really know what that actually means It would be helpful to see you show in the video what it should look like. Love your videos!

Adam can you confirm whether you used 2 tablespoons or 2 teaspoons of ginger. During the demonstration you were talking about teaspoons yet in the written recipe you ve written down tablespoons. You also talked about baking soda yet in the written recipe specified baking powder. It would be great if we could get a clarification.

It s in the oven now. I did 50/50 bread and einkorn flours with a cup of sourdough starter. I ll report back with the results in a couple hours. The batter didn t taste nearly spiced enough for my tastes so I m hoping that changes in the end; hopefully some cooking time for the spices will improve their flavors.

I love the cooking term Waba Waba perfect. The only thing I ve ever found that i like with gingerbread is just a little drizzle of lemon sauce. It s kind of like lemon curd but thinned out a bit. The contrast between the slight acidity of the lemon and the spiciness of the gingerbread is really nice.

Stop trying to make The Goose happen, Adam. One of my favorite Joy recipes is braised cabbage. I always just eyeball the ingredients and when it comes to how much vinegar I pretty much put in three times the amount they suggest. It's great to see someone baking actually doing same with spices!

You know what tastes better than honey in this? SORGHUM. And the spices here are all wrong. This is what you need:
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
And when it's done. serve it with whippped cream. The contrast is amazing.

Hey Adam! Try to crumple up the baking-paper before you put it in, instead of cutting it. It's much easier to get it to stay in place that way. It might not work with a dish that deep, but for most things it works very well, like your brownie recipe.

I'm kinda surprised you've never done a crumble recipe adam - I would have thought it to be right up your alley. Maybe its a british thing? It's a super cheap, simple and delicious desert - at uni we make it out of canned fruit.
