STICKY CRANBERRY GINGERBREAD



Sticky Cranberry Gingerbread image

Sticky, spicy and full of cranberries, this gingerbread is perfect for the holidays. The recipe has been designed to make ahead, and will taste as good 2 days after baking as it does on the same day. (It will keep for 4 to 5 days.) To store it, wrap it well, stick it in the fridge and then bring to room temperature before serving. Whipped cream or crème fraîche, spiked with a little bourbon if you like, is nice on the side.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups/8 ounces/266 grams fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 stick/4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter
2/3 cup/133 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
1/2 cup/120 milliliters maple syrup
1/4 cup/60 milliliters molasses
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon/5 grams ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon/1 gram ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams baking powder
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon/1 gram baking soda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon/14 grams grated fresh ginger (from 1-inch piece)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch square or round baking pan with parchment.
  • In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, stir together cranberries, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Stir the cranberries over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and cranberries form a sauce that is syrupy and bubbling thickly, about 10 minutes. Aim to have about half the cranberries broken down, with the remainder more or less whole.
  • In a separate saucepan, stir together the butter, brown sugar, milk, maple syrup and molasses over medium heat. Bring it to just barely a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Do not let it come to a boil, or the mixture may curdle.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. Beat in the butter-maple syrup mixture and then beat in the eggs. Stir in the ginger.
  • Scrape the batter into the pan. Drop fat dollops of cranberry sauce onto the surface of the cake batter. Drag a long, slender knife through the batter in a swirly design, as if you are marbling a cake. Transfer the cake to the oven and bake it until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let the cake cool completely before eating it.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you begin baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss any important steps.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your sticky buns. Whenever possible, use fresh cranberries, ginger, and other ingredients.
  • Proof the Dough Properly: Proofing the dough allows the yeast to activate and produce gas, which will help the buns rise. Be patient and let the dough proof until it has doubled in size.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can develop the gluten too much, resulting in tough, chewy buns. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Roll the Dough Out Evenly: When rolling out the dough, make sure to do so evenly so that the buns are all the same size and shape.
  • Use Plenty of Filling: Don't be shy with the filling! The more filling you use, the more delicious your sticky buns will be.
  • Bake the Buns Until Golden Brown: Bake the buns until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that they are perfectly caramelized and delicious.
