🍽️ What is
it? Dr. Oetker Gingerbread Baking Powder 20 g is a special baking powder designed primarily for making gingerbread and honey cakes — that is, traditional sweet doughs with a spiced flavour. This powder combines raising agents with traditional gingerbread spices, so as well as giving the dough a light and airy texture, it also imparts a pleasant aroma.

🌿 Key features

✔️ Leavens the dough: helps the dough to rise and develop a light, airy texture, which is desirable in gingerbread and honey cakes.
✔️ With gingerbread spices: contains cinnamon, aniseed, cloves, coriander and fennel, which together create the characteristic flavour and aroma of gingerbread dough.
✔️ Handy 20 g pack: usually sufficient for around ½ kg of flour, i.e. a standard batch of gingerbread dough as per recipes.
✔️ Easy to use: simply mix the powder directly into the dry flour, then add the other ingredients as per the recipe.

🧾 Ingredients

• Raising agents: sodium bicarbonate, sodium
dihydrogen phosphate • Spices: cinnamon, aniseed, cloves, coriander, fennel
• Maize starch
→ May contain traces of milk, eggs, wheat and lupin flour due to the manufacturing process.

🍰 How and where to use it

✔️ In the dough: sprinkle the powder into the flour or dry ingredients and mix well.
✔️ Baking: suitable for making gingerbread dough, honey cakes or other sweet spiced cakes.
✔️ Recipes: you’ll often find a classic gingerbread recipe on the back of the packet — for example, using a mixture of flour, sugar, milk, eggs, oil and cocoa.

📌 Summary in one sentence

🍪 Dr. Oetker Gingerbread Baking Powder 20 g is a special baking powder with gingerbread spices, which makes it easier to prepare light and aromatic gingerbread or honey cake by combining classic raising agents with traditional gingerbread spices.

💡 Tip: If you want the dough to be even more intensely spiced, you can add a few pinches of extra gingerbread spices (e.g. cinnamon or cloves), but the powder already contains the spices directly in the mix.
