Also the batter is super easy to whip up. Let's see what you need to make These Cute Gingerbread Bundt Cakes.

Warm and cozy Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Lemon Glaze is a must bake this Holiday Season.

Gingerbread bundt cake ingredients:

Moist and buttery Gingerbread cake batter.
Gingerbread bundt cake batter made with Butter, molasses, warm spices and hot water.

We are using standard Pantry ingredients to create this timeless classic. They are:

  1. Butter: Gives bundt cakes a buttery flavor and the beaten air in the helps the bundt cakes rise.
  2. Brown Sugar: Lends a ton of moisture and flavor to Gingerbread Cake.
  3. Egg: One egg for binding and structure.
  4. Vanilla and salt: Both are must for an incredible flavor. Use quality extract for best results.
  5. Spices: Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves are my favorite spices to use for Gingerbread. You can also replace nutmeg with all spice or even black pepper in the same amount as nutmeg!
  6. Water: We will use hot water to make the most moist Gingerbread Cake that you will come across!
  7. Molasses: I always reach for original, unsulphured and dark molasses variety to make my Gingerbread cookies and cakes. Don't opt for blacktstrap molasses as they are too bitter to taste.
  8. Baking Soda: To lift our bundt cakes.
  9. Flour: We are employing all purpose flour as the base of these cakes.

For Icing: Confectioners' sugar and Lemon Juice.

My old fashioned Gingerbread Bundt Cake recipe is the best way to celebrate festivity of the season.

Gingerbread Bundt Cake taste and texture:

These bundt cakes aren't as dense or overly spiced as most recipes around. Instead these are supremely moist yet fluffy, with just the right amount of spice to tickle your taste buds.

Seriously moist, perfectly spiced and packed with rich molasses flavor this is the Best Gingerbread Bundt Cake recipe that I ever tasted!

how to store gingerbread cake

Gingerbread cake's flavor develops 10 folds when stored in the right manner. Always keep the cake covered to retain its moisture and flavor.

You may choose to store gingerbread cake in the fridge as it will last long there, but it tends to dry out faster in the fridge.

I recommend you store it at room temp. if you are planning to use it within a few days.

My Gingerbread Bundt Cake is an easy, one bowl and a perfect Holiday Dessert!

How long does gingerbread cake keep

Gingerbread cake will keep fresh for a week in the refrigerator and 4-5 days at room temperature. Keep the cake stored in an airtight container.

What's the best molasses for Gingerbread cake

I like Grandma’s Robust Molasses and Grandma’s Unsulphured Molasses to bake Gingerbread cake. Also I prefer dark variety molasses to lighter ones.

How to freeze gingerbread cake

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and keep it in ziploc or an airtight container. Defrost before serving.

This Gingerbread Bundt Cake is a perfect breakfast, a cozy snack and a decadent Christmas dessert all in one!

How to serve gingerbread cake

There are endless options to serve your Classic Gingerbread Cake.

  1. With caramel and vanilla ice cream
  2. Along side whipped cream and melted chocolate drizzle
  3. With orange/lemon sauce
  4. Omg with butter rum toffee sauce!
  5. It is so good just plain, on its own!
