Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350*F. and lightly grease a 10" springform pan with veg. oil(or butter).
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, mustard powder and spices together into a medium bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stop the mixer twice to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture and mix on medium speed after each addition until the eggs are well blended but not smooth, 8 to 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl each time.
- Add the molasses with the mixer on medium low speed and mix for 5 seconds. The batter will look separated.
- Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter with the mixer on low speed and mix just until they have absorbed the liquid but are not thoroughly blended, about 10 seconds. Add half the coffee and fold it into the mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients on medium low speed and blend until they are almost incorporated, 10 seconds. Pour in the remaining coffee, then fold in by hand with a rubber spatula. Turn the mixer to low speed and blend until the batter is smooth, about 5 seconds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake on the center oven rack until the top springs back to the touch and a tester inserted in the center comes out dry, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly in the pan before serving. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Prep: 5 min cooking: 20 minutes serves 4-6 place the cream in a large pan, mix the mustard powder with 4 tablespoons of cold water, then stir into the cream. Bring slowly to the boil, then simmer very gently for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the sugar with the egg yolks until frothy. Whisk the hot cream into the sugar and egg mixture, mixing very thoroughly, then return to the pan. Stir With a wooden spoon over the lowest possible heat until it has thickened and coats the back of the spoon. Do not let it boil, otherwise it will curdle disastrously. Place the gingerbread in a food processor and whiz to fine crumbs. Whisk into the custard, then pour into a freezeproof container. Leave to cool, stirring frequently, then freeze for I hour. Take Out and stir, then freeze for another hour and repeat the stirring. Then you can freeze it until needed, putting it in the refrigerator for an hour or so before eating to soften slightly. Sprinkle with cassis if you wish, decorate with mint leaves and serve with crisp wafer biscuits.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the gingerbread will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful spices and use real butter and molasses.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough chill: Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out and prevents it from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the gingerbread at a low temperature: This will help it to bake evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Decorate the gingerbread however you like: You can use frosting, sprinkles, candy, or anything else you have on hand.
