Beckys Blueberry Gingerbread

Christmas and Gingerbread go hand in hand.

So there is no way on with the first Christmas on the Blog that I couldn’t give some version of a bake that covers the season.

I’m so lucky to have an army of baking inspiration within my ‘baking circle’ and this beauty has popped up over this year.

A completely different combination to that normally seen. From a genuine home baker from a generation before…… the best type of baking the ones ‘passed down’.

So in honour of my baking amigo and inspiration Darryl, over the pond and his mum Becky, I give you this bake.

Of course being me I have sought permission as mutilating a standard bake is not always appreciated by the original recipe creator. Although Becky is no longer here Darryl is. So a message was sent and full permissions granted .

I do hope I’ve done this bake justice and blinged it appropriately . Because we all like a little bling over Christmas.

And cheers Darryl I do love a good cup to gram conversion !!!!😂😂😂😂😂. it really makes my brain matter work overdrive 🙈🙈

It is then a matter or conversion to Gluten Free and Vegan , so for me its using the best methods for an individual bake. As not all bakes are equal and that skill develops with me on every bake.

The crumb, the spicing are the main points to consider, and with a lot of intolerance baking the flat uncracked top doesn’t always appear.

I don’t give a flying fig anymore😜😜😜😜 , I want soft moist and regular crumbporn .

However if you are trimming for cake decorating, covering in frosting or icing , does it really matter? ……..NO it doesn’t not one little bit !!!

These are homemade goods tasting like nothing you will get commercially and this one for sure fits that very brief !!! If you want generic then off you pop to the supermarket that’s fine !!!

Its perfect for me in every way, warm spices but those little bursts of blueberries add that little something , a pop and moisture to give it that little extra and soft…….so soft.

Blueberries although not in season are readily available here all year round, but they need to be fresh not the frozen variety.

This bake is uncomplicated , fuss free and will wow your family and friends, yep you can serve it to anyone. It requires nothing more than a warm drink or maybe a a mulled wine or cider and the scene is set.

Not everything in life and baking has to be complicated to be delicious and the previous generation knew how to achieve that.

Lets bake Becky’s Cake 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Well there you go , something a little different over the festive period !!

I’m loving the addition of frosted blueberries they certainly add that no fuss bling and something I’ve not used before , inspired totally by this bake.

I do hope I’ve done Becky proud, that now her recipe is there for everyone to enjoy…….. and you all can do. No wacky ingredients and no complex methods .

But the test comes on the crumbporn and of course I will show you. But i will also set the Christmas scene to inspire you to make it ……its all possible and you can do it !!!!

Hope you enjoyed the post.
