Gingerbread | Easy Traditional Recipe :)

[@MithrilMagic]

I love nice dark gingerbread spread with unsalted butter. When I was a little child my neighbor was from Yorkshire and moved here to the US with her husband after WWII. She would make gingerbread every Christmas and let me come to help her and it was one of my favorite memories. She passed away a few years ago but her son gave me her recipe box and the pan she always used to make the gingerbread in because he knew how special that time was for me. I now make it every Christmas with my niece and nephews. ❤️

[@moniquem783]

That was very kind of her son! Lovely that you’re carrying on the tradition.

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Delicious 😋 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[@mrsmac5196]

Cake has cooled and about to be iced. The batter was delicious 😋 I'm a native New Englander and all the ingredients scream home!!! That Custard looks amazing...will make it next time.💛💛💛

[@2H80vids]

Well Cheryl, by the time you see this wee comment, that magic 100k should have clicked over(currently stalled at 99.9k). Huge Congratulations to you; it's so well deserved. Cheers for now, Dougie.

[@WhiteLotusOm]

Oh thank you for posting this recipe as I’m originally from Scotland but live in the US and miss my Kirriemuir Gingerbread so I’ll be making this for my afternoon cuppa….Cheers! ♥️👍🏼☕️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is there nothing more heavenly than the smell of gingerbread baking? Nope...

[@janettebarr6538]

My favourite at school dinners when I was young long time ago, sponge cake with icing then custard mmmmm delicious

[@vanessahall9247]

OMG custard and cake... so good ! can't wait to make this for Christmas !!

[@kevinmoor26]

Never seen this before. I am sure my grandchildren will enjoy such a dish when they visit.

[@meredithgreenslade1965]

Yum. Steaming custard with it. Yum

[@Beruthiel45]

Thankfully Canada has Bird's custard for sale or I'd have to ask my family back home in Tyneside to send me some regularly, as there's nothing better than hot custard on anything rich and delicious like gingerbread. 👍 Especially in an Alberta winter, lovely stick to the ribs puddings. Thanks Cheryl, adding this to my recipe box. 😊 🇨🇦

[@jodiwhite7421]

It’s morning here in Florida and I’m about to run to the store to get these ingredients. I can’t wait to make this!!!

[@moniquem783]

Maybe a silly question, but which ingredients did you not have? I have a chronic illness and running to the store for a couple of things isn’t an option for me so I do a big shop every 6 weeks or so that I have delivered, plus a weekly fruit and veg box delivery. So I have a very full pantry and extra food storage in another room. I also have chickens in the backyard so there are always fresh eggs. I’m getting ready to sell this house though and would love to get an idea of how the other half lives so I can set my pantry up to look normal rather than stuffed lol.

[@jodiwhite7421]

@@moniquem783 Jist the molasses. I usually get it closer to December…. I don’t know why I guess the desserts tend to ask for it.

[@dremawhitman5887]

That gingerbread looks so good, what a treat.

[@markmurphy3088]

I love ginger bread cake and yours looks fantastic I’ll definitely have to try baking this one

[@traveltreats80]

Reminded me of the good old days.. Lovely recipe👌

[@kj.baxter]

I can't wait to make this tonight! I've discovered your channel a week ago and have been watching all your videos! I'm half Scottish and am only just learning about my heritage and the traditional food. I've already made a couple of your recipes and they were soooo delicious. I cannot wait to make more and see more of your content. Thank you so much for putting all these delicious recipes out here :)

Thank You Cheryl for another great recipe, Gingerbread my favourite 👍😀

This will be one that my husband's going to love! 💗

[@JanGagnon]

We’re so happy to have found your channel, you are so wonderful! I’ve already made a chicken pie and the cottage pie (with Quorn), absolutely delicious! You do a wonderful job showing the recipes and cooking process plus I do love the meals of the week! The scenery at the end of the videos is a nice touch! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@systemSkynet]

Ah what man I did not expect the custard. here, have 10 points.

[@melissacurtin7192]

I was just thinking about making some Ginger Bread. I even have a tin of Treacle.

[@Ashencrowe]

Made this last night, and it is delicious! Thank you!

[@mohammedarfan5499]

Wow nice vlog Cheryl yum yum it's easy to make

[@d.d.mac.3773]

That looks delicious! Putting custard on cake is not "a thing" here in Canada, but I've had it in the U.K. and it is very good. My Irish grandma always had Bird's Custard Powder in her cupboard but only she and my grandfather ate it.

[@northernprairiegramma647]

Oh my gosh I could listen to you all day! Love the scots accent. Never heard of custard over cake here in the USA but seems like something nummy to try!

[@brigitter1469]

Gingerbread... I've never made so I am going to try this. Yum

[@angeline3194]

Looks fantastic , Cheryl. Looking forward to trying to make it x

[@adamlittle8691]

Looks delicious. I always do my gingerbread in a loaf tin cut up and serve with a little butter 😋 i like the idea of the icing tho! 😊

[@phyllisbowen1445]

Oh my goodness it looks so Yummy!!

[@trishaturner2078]

One of my favourites. It looks delicious.

[@masuganut2082]

It’s in the oven NOW!!! 🥰

[@lynnegordon6749]

I love Gingerbread and Custard sauce too. I don't usually eat them together. I have to try this one, Cheryl. Note to your Wee Jasper, Nala and Dean are back on the road again! Jasper might enjoy their journey.💕🐱 and me. 🐀Lynne

[@mariatreadaway6439]

Looks fab

[@christineb8148]

Gingerbread is one of my favorites! I've usually had it with a lemon hard sauce or with some pumpkin ice cream, either way it is delicious.

[@Samantha-pn4zk]

What is a hard sauce?

[@christineb8148]

@@Samantha-pn4zk it's a butter-based sauce or topping and goes on bread pudding or gingerbread or fruit cake or other hot desserts like that. I think the "hard" part is from it usually having some alcohol in it like rum or brandy (brandy butter is another name/version) but I usually had it with lemon juice in it.

[@edwindrood2816]

Very nice and festive!

[@-greentoad]

Oh looks so good. For my preference I would love whip cream on top of it instead of icing, although icing is good too. My mouth is watering for a piece of this. Yum!

[@AeiSedai1976]

Definitely add this to my to make list! Bet it would be great too with some raisins and or walnuts:)

[@lisamckay5058]

Miss Cheryl, do you have a favorite custard recipe? You cake looks wonderful.

[@peterholland3746]

Good recipe will make it thanks for posting

[@peterostermiller3576]

Nice recipe. Definitely makes the house smell like fall weather. Some orange zest and a little orange juice in the icing would be a nice flavor note to go along with the ginger bread. I’ve seen many gingerbread recipes which incorporate an orange glaze. I think the frosting/ icing you used was better than just pouring a glaze over. The problem with glaze is it makes the pieces sticky, more problematic to eat. Your icing removes that stickiness issue. Another great video upload.

[@Janetjones.]

Looks delicious Cheryl 😋 I usually make ginger parkin similar recipe to yours but have to add oats Janet 👌

[@lisamckay5058]

Parkin has to sit for several days before you eat it, right?

[@Janetjones.]

Yes you are absolutely right and I always grind my oats too but that's personal choice Janet

[@lisamckay5058]

I really need to try making parkin again. My first attempt was a massive failure! 😁

[@Janetjones.]

I've had failures too! Look on KZbin for ginger /Yorkshire parkin I'm sure there will be plenty of recipes Janet

Hi Cheryl....thank you so much for sharing this recipe for gingerbread cake. I've been looking for just such a recipe for what seems like forever. Every entry I've typed in so far has only yielded recipes for gingerbread COOKIES.....which are not what I wanted. This brings me to a question though....are treacle and molasses two different things? I've always though they were two names for the same product.

[@WhiteLotusOm]

Treacle is what they call molasses in the US, both the same thing!

[@JustClaireGrace]

Ooh, this looks beautiful! Could i freeze it (without the icing of course)?

[@carolinemunro1557]

Lovely👍

[@shadodragonette]

Can you make it with whole wheat flour?

[@jimmynorris1314]

It’s brutal to get treacle where I live. Any substitutions for that?
