    1 Preheat oven to 150°C. Grease and line a 7 x 21 x 10.5cm loaf tin with baking paper.

    2 Combine flours, baking powder and ginger in a large bowl; make a well in the centre. Add remaining ingredients to bowl and stir until well combined. Pour the batter into prepared loaf tin and smooth surface. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

    3 Leave loaf to cool in tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cut into slices and serve, or toast and serve.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flours and check baking powder, ginger and soy milk are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Store loaf in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot, or wrap individual slices and freeze.

      Very nice, would like to try with cinnamon rather than ground ginger as it’s a bit overpowering
