Amish Friendship Gingerbread image

A little less sweet--a little more spicy! My Christmas use for Amish Friendship Bread starter! You can add a quarter to half cup of sugar with the dry ingredients if you have a sweet tooth, but I really prefer it with just the molasses.

Time 21m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup amish starter
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce (I use natural unsweetened)
1/4 cup milk or 1/4 cup cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons molasses
1 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (4 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
1/4-1/2 cup candied orange peel (optional)
1/4 cup fairly thin cream cheese frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine wet ingredients: starter, egg, oil, applesauce, milk or cream, vanilla, and molasses. Stir well.
  • Combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, and pudding mix in a separate bowl. Whisk until well-combined.
  • Add dry mix gradually to wet mix, and stir until barely combined. Stir in candied peel if using.
  • Spread in greased loaf pan.
  • Bake (at 325 degrees) approximately one hour. Check it at fifty minutes to determine baking time for your oven!
  • Remove from oven and cool on a rack. When BARELY warm to the touch, spread cream cheese frosting over top of loaf. I like runny, glazey, drippy frosting--if you like it thicker, you'll need more frosting and a light hand to keep from tearing pieces off the top of this tender loaf!
