Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Loaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together hot water and unsulphured molasses until combined.
  4. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add sour cream and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the molasses mixture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and serve with coffee or tea, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
