This chocolate and ginger loaf cake is a comforting, moist, and earthy cake made with a combination of powdered and fresh ginger, and chocolate. It requires simple ingredients and involves creating a marble pattern with ginger and chocolate mix, then baking and glazing with an orange juice glaze. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

As a child, my favorite biscuits were gingersnaps, and those really gingery ones with dark chocolate on them. I have many fond memories of dipping gingersnaps in tea and seeing how long they would last without breaking, then savoring the warm, gooey gingery-ness that resulted. So I wanted to make it in cake form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted it to be unmistakably ginger and chocolate of course. That’s why there is both powdered ginger, and fresh ginger in this cake. The fresh ginger keeps it beautifully moist, and the ground ginger gives the cake a genuine earthy warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the kind of cake I can imagine having a slice of, with a cup of tea, on my sofa on a Saturday afternoon when the rain is beating down on the windows and I’ve got my big winter socks on. The kind of cake that warms you from the inside.<\/p>\n\n\n
