Gingerbread Bundt Cake

With the holidays rapidly approaching, the delightful smell of gingerbread is something that the holiday
season cannot do without! As a baker this is my happy holiday smell that fills my kitchen leading up to
this busy baking season. I love how the smells of ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon merry
together and fill my home with yummy aromas.

This gingerbread bundt cake is my favorite gingerbread recipe and I am so excited to share it with you.

brunch.

Gingerbread Bundt Cake

This moist gingerbread bundt cake, has a soft crumb and is exploding with lots of gingerbread flavor.
You can taste the molasses and brown sugar, while getting a nice burst of spice, making it all blend
together seamlessly. What makes this gingerbread cake recipe even better is the sugar cranberries on
top. This provides a bright sugared tart burst of flavor that cuts through the spices and cleanses the
palate as it prepares for its next bite.

For an extra festive touch I decided to place my gingerbread bundt cake in a mold called the Kugelhopf
pan (aff link) you can also use mini bundt cake pans. It reminds me of white snowcapped mountains providing a
beautiful presentation which is sure to impress everyone at your holiday events.

    When you write the sugar is ‘divided’, I don’t see it so in the recipe. Please clarify, thank you

      It is in the recipe. You use half the sugar to make the simple syrup to soak the cranberries with and the other half to roll the cranberries in to give them the sparkles sugar coating.
