Instructions
Creating a delicious Gingerbread Bundt Cake involves the following straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Molasses and Eggs: Mix in the molasses and eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with hot water. Start with the dry, then add water, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour Batter into Pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake: Once done, remove the cake from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Optionally, once completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
These steps will lead you to create a delicious Gingerbread Bundt Cake that you can be proud of.
