GINGER BREAD

This makes 2 loaves ......
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C

Line 2 loaf tins with baking paper .

Now you have to sieve 450gm of plain flour together with 1/2 tsp of salt , 1&1/2 tsp of ground ginger , 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda  ( sieve the bicab through a tea strainer into the sieve ....making sure there are no lumps .)

SIEVING IS IMPORTANT TO GET SOME AIR INTO THE MIX .

Now add a handful of sultanas to the mix .

In a saucepan add 225 gm of dark muscovado sugar , 170 gm of butter / margarine and 340 gm of treacle  and slightly warm it ....you should be able to put your finger in it .

Add 300ml of unsalted almond or coconut milk and stir to mix.

Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients , then stir in 1 lightly beaten egg .

Mix everything together , but don`t overwork the dough or the cake will be tight and tough .

Divide the mixture between the loaf pans and bake for 1 hour or un til a skewer inserted comes out clean .

Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tins , then turn out and wrap in foil .

Then serve with butter and or honey .
