Classic Gingerbread Loaf Recipe

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, spray with some non-stick spray and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices, set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 1 minute, add the eggs, vanilla and orange zest and whisk for 1 more minute.

Step 4

Add the molasses and sour cream, mix until combined, then add the dry mixture along with the milk and mix just long enough to combine. Spread batter evenly in your prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
