Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the molasses, hot water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef’s Tips

  • For extra moistness, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  • Wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap once cooled to help retain moisture.
  • This bread can be frozen for up to three months; just ensure it’s well wrapped.
