Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz for just a few seconds, only until combined. This short blend is key for a light, soft bread — overmixing will result in a heavier, doughy texture.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 35–40 minutes, until set in the centre and lightly golden on top.

Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Toppings are optional, but I love finishing it with a simple, healthy frosting made by mixing yoghurt and honey. The gingerbread man cookies on top were completely unnecessary… but very cute.
