generous slices, but it can be easily doubled if you need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your bread is in the oven, you can whip up an easy cream cheese frosting recipe. Ours is a classic recipe with an added pinch of salt to bring out the natural tangy flavor of the cream cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d rather, you can leave the frosting off the bread. It\u2019s still a delicious treat. Either way, this gingerbread loaf is perfect to serve for your Thanksgiving or Christmas breakfast, a yummy holiday dessert, or a snack with an afternoon coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"overhead view of sliced gingerbread loaf with cream cheese icing\" class=\"wp-image-19630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Gingerbread Loaf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gingerbread loaf is a dense, thick bread baked in a loaf pan. Using spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, it tastes similar to gingerbread cookies. Starbucks made their famous gingerbread loaf for the holiday season, and it became a classic fall and winter treat across the country. Making your own at home is easy and I think my recipe might be even better than the coffeehouse classic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>How Do I Store Gingerbread Loaf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gingerbread loaf will stay fresh for up to five days in an airtight container. It will last longer if kept in the fridge, but this can dry it out quicker, so if you\u2019re using it within 24 hours, I recommend keeping it covered on the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"gingerbread loaf with icing\" class=\"wp-image-19626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Can I Freeze Gingerbread Loaf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can freeze gingerbread loaf. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to four months so you can make it ahead. Make sure you take it out of the freezer at least 6 hours before you want to serve it. If it has already been cut into slices, place parchment between each one and you\u2019ll be able to separate them easier when frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Can I Make Gingerbread Loaf in a Cake Pan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While I haven\u2019t tried this myself, I don\u2019t see why your loaf batter won\u2019t bake up nicely in a cake pan. If your cake pan is large, you may need to reduce the baking time so it doesn\u2019t get too dry. You\u2019ll want to line your cake pan with parchment and remove the cake right away after baking. Place on a cooking rack for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"2 slices of holiday gingread loaf\" class=\"wp-image-19624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/gingerbread-loaf-recipe-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Tips for Making Gingerbread Loaf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin making your batter, especially your butter and eggs. Room temperature cream cheese will help make sure your frosting doesn\u2019t have any lumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you forget to soften your butter, you can microwave it in 5-10 second bursts until it\u2019s soft. Go slowly! You don\u2019t want to melt it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many gingerbread recipes use molasses but ours doesn\u2019t. This allows our bread to be less dense than some others, but you still don\u2019t want to over-mix your batter. Mix your ingredients just until well combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Recommended<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/maria-pucks-holiday-spice-gingerbread-cookies\/\">Holiday Spice Gingerbread Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/holiday-apple-pie-dried-fruit-caramel-sauce\/\">Holiday Apple Pie with Dried Fruit & Caramel Sauce<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/pumpkin-scones-recipe\/\">Pumpkin Scones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess.png\" alt=\"step by step directions on how to make gingerbread loaf with cream cheese icing\" class=\"wp-image-21159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess.png 650w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess-180x180.png 180w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess-96x96.png 96w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/gingerbread-loaf-inprocess-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Gingerbread Loaf With Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This moist and dense gingerbread loaf recipe is a perfect treat to serve for breakfast or dessert, or to enjoy with an afternoon cup of coffee. The tangy, homemade cream cheese frosting is the perfect compliment to the bread\u2019s yummy spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you\u2019re going to freeze your bread, you may want to leave the cream cheese frosting off of your bread. While it will freeze with it on top, it will thaw better without it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can make your cream cheese frosting ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Press some plastic wrap on the surface of the frosting to keep it fresh.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you\u2019re not a fan of cream cheese frosting, you can serve your gingerbread loaf with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or even buttercream frosting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> You can substitute butter for margarine or other butter-like spreads. It may change the consistency of your bread slightly, but it shouldn\u2019t make too much of a difference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream Cheese:<\/strong> For making cream cheese frosting, it\u2019s best to use full-fat cream cheese. If you must use a low-fat version, expect your frosting to be lighter in texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want to use eggs in this recipe, you can add in an extra \u00bc cup of apple sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>More Yummy Holiday Recipes You\u2019ll Enjoy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like this delicious gingerbread loaf recipe, you\u2019ll want to try some of our other easy holiday treats!

Using a lighter version will still work; however, the icing may end up a little too light in texture. <br \/>To soften the butter just leave on the counter overnight or for 2-3 hours before you want to bake the gingerbread loaf. If you are in a pinch and forgot to get the butter out stick in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until softened. Just make sure you don\u2019t accidentally melt it.<br \/>If you don\u2019t have butter on hand, you can use margarine instead. Just keep in mind, this may lend a slightly different texture to the cake, but it shouldn\u2019t make too much of a difference. <br \/>Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.<br \/>Freezer: Store this in the freezer for up to 4 months in an airtight container. Use parchment paper to separate pieces if needed, so they don\u2019t stick together. <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n      <div class=\"wprm-spacer\" style=\"height: 16px;\"><\/div> <div class=\"wprm-call-to-action wprm-call-to-action-simple\" style=\"color: #ffffff;background-color: var(--emery-accent-color);margin: 0px;padding-top: 30px;padding-bottom: 30px;border-radius: 12px;\"><span class=\"wprm-call-to-action-text-container\"><h3 class=\"wprm-call-to-action-header\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Tried this recipe?<\/h3><span class=\"wprm-call-to-action-text\"><a href=\"#comment\" target=\"_self\" style=\"color: #ffffff\" >Let us know<\/a> how it was!<\/span><\/span><span class=\"wprm-recipe-icon wprm-call-to-action-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"><g class=\"nc-icon-wrapper\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"#ffffff\" stroke=\"#ffffff\"><path fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#ffffff\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M11.5,0.5 C9.982,0.5,8.678,1.355,8,2.601C7.322,1.355,6.018,0.5,4.5,0.5c-2.209,0-4,1.791-4,4c0,4,7.5,11,7.5,11s7.5-7,7.5-11 C15.5,2.291,13.709,0.5,11.5,0.5z\" data-cap=\"butt\"\/> <\/g><\/svg><\/span> <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Gingerbread Loaf recipe is dense and moist with a rich cream cheese icing that brings out all the flavors of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Food & Drink","MSN_Publish_Option":true,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1132,1056,385,382,1072],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baking","category-christmas","category-desserts","category-recipes","category-thanksgiving"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gingerbread Loaf Recipe &#8226; Staging - FoodnService<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This Gingerbread Loaf recipe is dense and moist with a rich cream cheese icing that brings out all the flavors of the holidays.
