Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a fork until no lumps of soda or flour remain.
  3. In another medium-sized bowl, combine all wet ingredients except the apple cider vinegar until smooth and consistent (adding the ACV too soon curdles the milk alternative).
  4. Add the apple cider vinegar to the combined wet ingredients, mix thoroughly.
  5. Gently pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients, quickly and gently fold the wet mix into the dry mix until the batter is thoroughly combined (the ACV acts as an acid which reacts with and activates the soda creating more air bubbles, stirring too much or too slowly allows all the bubbles to escape creating a flat batter).
  6. Pour the batter into a 9x9-inch cake pan or two loaf pans
  7. Place in your preheated oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until a knife can cleanly pierce the gingerbread.
Notes
Cloves Note (from Alisa): Be sure to buy ground cloves. The oils released when grinding cloves can ruin a spice grinder - they actually melt plastic!
