Vegan Gingerbread Loaf

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper so that there is overhang on either side.

Step 2

Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add light brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger and allspice. Mix together.

Step 3

Add soy milk, molasses, canola oil, applesauce, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar. Mix into a batter. Don't overmix.

Step 4

Transfer to your prepared 9x5 loaf pan and smooth down.

Step 5

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 6

Transfer the loaf to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 7

Sift powdered sugar into a bowl, add orange juice and mix into a thick glaze.

Step 8

Spoon the glaze over the top of the loaf and spread it out, then place the whole loaf into the fridge for 10 minutes so that the glaze can set.

Step 9

Slice and serve!
