Packed full of chocolate chips and cocoa powder, the added cloves, cinnamon and ginger are sure to pack an extra flavour punch.
"I’d never come across a chocolate gingerbread, and after making this one for the first time, I wondered why not. There’s something about the glottally thickening wodge of chocolate chip and cocoa that just intensifies the rich spices of gingerbread. The chocolate chips add texture and nubbly treat within," Nigella explained on her website.
