Hi Bold Bakers! No, we won’t be building a house out of this gingerbread. My Sticky Gingerbread recipe, also known as a Jamaican gingerbread, isn’t a hard cookie — it’s a delicious loaf of molasses, ginger, and cinnamon! Already have an account? Growing up in Ireland, this bread was a staple. We always had a slice with some warm butter with our cup of tea or coffee. The warm spices just beg to be paired with a good cup of tea! My Homemade Sticky Gingerbread is so incredibly moist and just a soft, lovely texture; it also has a wonderful sticky top. It’s a nostalgic goodie for a lot, I’m sure!
What is Jamaican Gingerbread?
Jamaican Gingerbread, which actually is from Jamaica, is a popular loaf that is a favorite in many households. It’s sold pre-made, but those are often disappointing. When it’s made at home, you’re guaranteed to have a sticky and flavorful gingerbread. To me, this bread is the perfect amount of sweet and spicy, and it is baked the way you would make something like my Pumpkin Banana Bread.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Sticky Jamaican Gingerbread
This gingerbread freezes perfectly! So even if you don’t eat two loaves right away, it will store well. Be sure to have your eggs come to room temperature for this recipe as they get added to a warm liquid. Putting tin foil on the top towards the end of baking is key to achieving the sticky top! Molasses and treacle are interchangeable; you can use treacle in this recipe. Molasses is a key ingredient in gingerbread. Don’t have any? Make your own Molasses Substitute! Brown sugar gives the gingerbread a deep, caramel flavor. You can easily make your own Brown Sugar!
How Do I Store Sticky Gingerbread?
Leftover sticky Jamaican gingerbread can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days — and, just so you know, the flavor gets even better as it sits!
