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