Description
A cozy gingerbread bundt cake that’s soft, warmly spiced, and perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 cup dark molasses
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons milk or cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Prep the pan: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan thoroughly.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk molasses, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and buttermilk until smooth.
- Bring it together: Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until just combined.
- Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. A skewer should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and release: Let the cake cool in the pan for 12 to 15 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack carefully.
- Glaze: Once barely warm, whisk glaze ingredients and spoon over the top.
Notes
Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or Greek yogurt for a lighter twist.
