Tuesdays with Dorie: Fresh Ginger and Chocolate Gingerbread
Hooray for Tuesdays! I love a new Dorie recipe. At first, I didn’t really feel like making gingerbread.. it felt too Christmasy, and I wasn’t in the mood. But like many Dorie recipes, I was surprised by how good it was!
I made 1/2 the recipe, and used a loaf pan instead of a 9×9. I think the little slices look cute, and they’re actually a sane portion. Those squares looked huge, Dorie!
Oh- forgot to mention my baking drama. I took the loaf out after 30 minutes, thinking it was done. Then after after 10 minutes, when I was ready to ice it, I realized it wasn’t cooked completely through. So I threw it back in the oven for another 15 minutes and it came out fine.
*Find the recipe here. Thanks, Heather- great choice!

I love all the different shapes people used for this recipe — it makes things so much more interesting!
I agree with Lillian, there have been so many different shapes and versions of this cake. I like the loaf! Looks yummy.

I love your gingerbread loaf. It looks delicious. YUM!
It looks like it turned out great as a loaf!
WOW! What a beautiful job! Your loaf looks SO good!!!!
Baking it in a loaf pan was a brilliant idea! You’re right about yours looking like “sane” portions! Beautifully done.
your loaf is gorgeous:)
Glad it worked out!! Looks very good. Love the loaf shape – for some reason I think they are ‘bread’ and therefore less unhealthy! 🙂
HA! I made a loaf as well and I did the same exact thing! Except I didn’t realize it wans’t SUPPOSED to be a loaf until 10 minutes in to baking it! Yours looks great!
Your gingerbread cake looks great – it is beautifully shaped. I like that you used a loaf pan – it’s more traditional.
your loaf looks wonderful! glad the second bake worked 🙂 you’re right, those squares were WAY too big for any normal person to eat.
Looks good. I hadn’t thought to use a loaf pan.
