3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (optional)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Measuring Ingredients: Use accurate measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. This will help ensure the best results.
  • Properly Grease and Flour Baking Pans: This will help prevent the loaf from sticking to the pan and ensure it comes out cleanly.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the loaf. This will help ensure even baking.
  • Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done baking.
  • Let the Loaf Cool: Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the loaf set and make it easier to slice.
