The aromatic combination of ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa creates a moist, indulgent cake that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients:
200 g dark chocolate
1 cup (240 ml) warm milk
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons molasses or dark syrup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
A pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a loaf pan or springform cake pan.
Melt the chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, break the chocolate into pieces and melt it gently over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in the warm milk, honey, and molasses until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices (ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg), and salt.
Combine wet ingredients: In another large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vegetable oil. Gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Combine wet and dry mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is fully combined. The batter should be thick but smooth.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serve this cake at room temperature or slightly warmed with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
This piernik czekoladowy can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 week. It also freezes well for up to 2 months; simply thaw before serving.
Variations:
Nutty Twist: Add chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds to the batter for added texture and flavor.
Frosted Version: For a more decadent dessert, top the cake with cream cheese frosting or a chocolate ganache.
Spicy Heat: Adjust the level of ginger or add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicier kick.
