How to make Sticky Toffee Gingerbread

Prepare the gingerbread

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.

  3. Step 3

    In another bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the molasses.

  4. Step 4

    Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Make the sticky toffee sauce

  1. Step 1

    Melt the butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar and cream, and simmer gently until thickened.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in the vanilla extract.

Finish and serve

  1. Step 1

    When the gingerbread is done, poke holes over the surface and pour half of the warm toffee sauce over it.

  2. Step 2

    Serve warm slices with extra toffee sauce on top.

Tips & Tricks

  3. Let the gingerbread cool slightly before pouring the toffee sauce to avoid it becoming too soggy.
