A deliciously warm and festive gingerbread bundt cake, that is a simple yet elegant showstopper for the Christmas baking season. <\/p>\n
As we are now into December I feel like I can really push the idea of gingerbread even further than normal, and I hope you guys don’t mind. I am of course obsessed like always, but I just wanted to post something that is simple, yet elegant; and this cake achieves that. <\/p>\n
My gingerbread NYC Cookies<\/a> and my gingerbread millionaires<\/a> are some of my favourite ginger bakes, but let’s be honest now – they’re all good. I recently made my caramel gingerbread cookie bars<\/a> on stage, and they are a little life changing. <\/p>\n I’m not sure what it is, but I just adore the warm spiced flavour. It brings everything up a notch and just creates something wonderful. <\/p>\n When it comes to ginger cakes, I have a variety on my blog. Usually they vary due to fitting different sized tins, such as my christmas gingerbread cake<\/a>, my caramel ginger cake<\/a>, and my gingerbread cupcakes<\/a>. All the sponges are similar, but this gingerbread bundt cake is the same as my gingerbread loaf cake<\/a>. <\/p>\n When you work with bundt tins, they can look quite big, and the sizes do vary slightly. However, because of the detail in the tins, the quantities of the loaf cake worked perfectly, and I didn’t want to mess with it. In the recipe you use: <\/p>\n As mentioned above I use ground ginger, and some ground cinnamon. You can of course use what you prefer though. Some gingerbread bakes work with some ground nutmeg added in, as it brings a new flavour of dreams, but I like this cake without. <\/p>\n I always use more ground ginger than anything in a ‘ginger’bread bake, but the cinnamon really does work wonders. If you want the flavours stronger or weaker, that’s totally fine and you can adapt to your preferences. If you like things even strong, you can add in some really finely chopped crystallised ginger if you wanted. <\/p>\n When it comes to bundt cakes, the tin is SO IMPORTANT. And as you can see from the images, I have used a beauuuutiful forest bundt tin – which you can find here<\/a>. I used the forest tin because I thought with a little dusting of icing sugar for decoration it looked very festive so easily. <\/p>\n The other tin I have used though is this gingerbread house bundt tin<\/a>. Both work wonders. When baking with these tins, I always put them onto a tray in the oven just to make sure that they are level when baking. <\/p>\n To prep my bundt tin I spray a thick spray of 1cal oil spray all over the inside of the pan making sure not to miss anywhere. Then, I heavily dust the inside of the tin with flour. I tend to tap the flour through a sieve into the tin to make an even fine dusting of flour. Once all parts are covered, I turn the tin over and tap out any excess, and then the tin is ready. <\/p>\n Once you have poured your cake mix into the prepared tin, the baking is relatively easy – you just have to be patient as always. The bake timings are similar to a loaf cake as well, so it does take a fair amount of time to bake. <\/p>\n Once baked, the cake should be starting to come away from the edge of the tin, and if you carefully listen to the cake, it shouldn’t make a sound. If cakes need a bit of further baking, you can often hear bubbling and crackling sounds – this usually means it needs 5 more minutes. <\/p>\n Once baked, I leave the cake facing the same way up, to cool for 10 minutes, and then I turn it out. You don’t want to turn it out too quickly as it may fall apart, and you don’t want it to cool too much as it may get stuck. <\/p>\n Once out of the tin, let it cool, and then dust finely with icing sugar and enjoy. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/GingerbreadBundtCake1-2.jpg\")
