/
4
teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped candied ginger, optional
For the orange whipped cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier orange liqueur or thawed
orange juice concentrate
1

2

To make the gingerbread, place the gingerbread ingredients in the pan according to
the order in the manufacturer’s instructions. Set the crust for dark, if your ma-
chine offers crust control for this cycle, and program for the Quick Bread/Cake
cycle; press Start. The batter will be thick.
To prepare the orange whipped cream, combine all the ingredients in a chilled bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks are formed. Until soft peaks are
formed. Cover and chill until needed.
When the machine beeps at the end of the cycle, check the loaf for doneness. The
gingerbread is done when it shrinks slightly from the sides of the pan, the sides
are dark brown, and the top is firm to a gentle pressure when touched with your
finger. (If the indentation remains, press Stop/Reset and program for the Bake
Only cycle; check at intervals until the loaf is done.) A toothpick or metal skewer
will come out clean when inserted into the center of the bread.
When the bread is done, immediately remove the pan from the machine. Let the
bread stand in the pan for 10 minutes before gently turning it out, right side up, to
cool completely on a rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature,
with a few tablespoons of Orange Whipped Cream on the side.
