gingerbread loaf

Molasses-flavored baked rectangle

A gingerbread loaf is a quick bread flavored with ginger, molasses, and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves.

Unlike gingerbread cookies, it's baked in a loaf pan and sliced for serving, with a dense, moist texture: She made a gingerbread loaf for the holiday brunch.

Often served plain or with cream cheese frosting.
