How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2: Butter and 9 x 5 loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment and grease the parchment.

  • Step 3: In a large saucepan, over high heat, combine the stout and molasses and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and slowly add the baking soda. Allow to sit until the foam dissipates.

  • Step 7: Add the candied ginger and stir to combine.

  • Step 8: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the top springs back when gently pressed. NOTE: Do not open the oven until the gingerbread is almost done, or the center may fall slightly.

  • Step 9: Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
