Step 2

Mix until the ingredients come together in a smooth dough. This shouldn't take more than 10 mins, if you're finding lumps crush them with a spatula.

Step 4

Bake at 200°C (180°C Convection) for 20-25 min.

OvenHeat

Step 5

Et voilà! Let cool for a couple (at least 5) minutes as to not burn your mouth. The result should be a lovely fresh spongy gingerbread which feels more like a delicious cake with the classic gingerbread flavours.

Step 6

For best results let cool for 10-20 mins (until luke warm) cover the top in cling film (still in the baking tray) and let cool completely. Cut into pieces and keep covered in cling film to store. This creates a delightful glaze-like top and prevents the gingerbread from drying out. If you want to store it in a tupperware place parchment paper between layers and keep the lid closed.
