Ingredients

  • 240 grams (2 cups) flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 tsp ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 113 grams (1/2 cup) butter, softened
  • 213 grams (1 cup) light brown sugar
  • 170 grams (1/2) cup molasses
  • 2 eggs
  • 227 grams (1 cup) buttermilk
  • Powdered sugar, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 10-15 cup bundt pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices and set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer, mix the butter and sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy.
  4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in molasses, continuing to mix.
  5. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with your spatula as needed.
  6. Beginning and ending with the flour mixture, alternate between adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter.
  7. Pour batter into bundt pan, making sure to smooth it out so it is level. Bake for 32-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack before gently running a knife along the edges of the pan, topping the cake with another cooling rack and turning the cake out. Let the cake cool completely.
  9. Top with sifted powder sugar.
  10. Enjoy!
