Slow Cooker Nigella’s Guinness Gingerbread
Based on a Nigella Christmas recipe. Available online on FoodNetwork.com: Nigella’s Guinness Gingerbread.
This gingerbread recipe is included in Nigella’s Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home* cook book.
Apart from using half the quantities, in the recipe (linked above). I followed the recipe exactly.
This makes a very runny sticky gingerbread batter. And you definitely need to line the slow cooker pot with parchment paper. Even if the pot is non-stick.
I made Nigella’s Guinness Gingerbread in a Morphy Richards Accents Sear and Stew 3.5 L Slow Cooker (See my review).
Cooked on High for 1.5 hours i.e. until it is cooked through. To test this, use a skewer to check that the centre of the cake is no longer wet batter. And the skewer comes out clean.
