Ingredients

Bundt Cake

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3 egg(s) large, room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-1 /2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush butter all over the inside of a 10-cup bundt pan.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl, and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, then add vanilla and molasses. Scrape down the sides as needed and beat until well mixed.
  • Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the bowl, and beat slowly until just combined.
  • Add in the sour cream (or yogurt) and milk, and beat until combined. Then, add the remaining dry ingredients, scrape down the sides, and beat until mixed.
  • Bake for 48 - 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (the time depends on how hot your oven runs. Mine was done in 60 minutes).
  • Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then flip upside down and let the cake cool down on the wire rack completely.
  • Make the glaze. Combine the confectioners sugar with cinnamon and cream in a small bowl. Mix until a smooth glaze forms.
  • Pour the glaze over the top of the cake slowly, covering all of the top and allowing some of it to drip down the sides. Let harden before serving.

Notes

I add cocoa powder over the butter to grease the bundt pan. It does darken the top of the cake a bit, but it tastes good and looks better than regular flour.
