Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare a loaf pan with non-stick spray and parchment paper to make removing the loaf easy. Set aside.
Beat vegan butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the sparkling water 1-2 tbsp at a time beating into the butter mixture in between. Add non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, and molasses and beat until combined. The mixture will look separated – that's okay!
To the wet mixture add all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and salt. Beat until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with a generous amount of demerara sugar.
Bake in heated oven for 50 - 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let the loaf cool completely before removing from the pan and slicing.
