Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger Use fresh for best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Use fresh for best flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Use fresh for best flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk Can be substituted with yogurt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your Bundt pan with a touch of butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the molasses.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Once cooled, drizzle with icing or sprinkle with your favorite toppings then enjoy!

Notes

For more intense flavors, use fresh spices instead of pre-ground ones. Store the cake in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For icing, mix powdered sugar with warm water until desired consistency is reached.
