About
| This recipe combines malted wheat and rye flour to create a rich sticky ginger cake, reminiscent of Jamaican Gingerbread or Yorkshire Parkin. Rye flour is often associated with heavy dense bread, but this gingerbread is light and delicate, but still comforting. |
This recipe from Amy Oboussier was inspired by a sudden craving for the kind of sticky gingerbread cake served by her late grandmother, who loved all things ginger - ginger beer, ginger biscuits, chocolate-coated stem ginger and ginger cake.
Always looking to add depth of flavour with wholemeal flour, Amy swapped out white flour for malted wheat and rye. This gingerbread also uses molasses instead of treacle, which is less cloyingly sweet with a deep malty flavour and notes of burnt caramel and prune, pairing excellently with ginger.
This recipe makes a generous amount, almost certainly necessary when everyone comes back for second helpings. But if you prefer you can halve the quantities and bake in a loaf tin.
The recipe also draws inspiration from Regula Ysewijn's brilliant book Oats in the North, Wheat in the South - essential reading for anyone interested in British baking!

Method

These cold-proved wholemeal sourdough rolls with nuts or seeds are inspired by the rustic rolls typical of Scandinavian artisanal bakeries. But despite this, they're very easy to make.
This brilliant recipe, using two of Hodmedod's most loved ingredients carlin peas and quinoa, comes from Eleanor Maidment's cookbook Pulse. This simple, but flavourful salad is perfect as a side dish or as a vegetarian main packed with plant-based protein.
