Servings: 16
2 1/2 cups organic all-purpose flour
1 tbsp each organic ground cinnamon & ground ginger
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup Organic Meadow Cultured Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
1 cup packed organic brown sugar
2 large organic eggs
1 cup Organic Meadow 14% Sour Cream
1/2 cup organic molasses
1/2 cup Organic Meadow 2% Milk
1 1/2 cups organic icing sugar
2 tbsp Organic Meadow 2% Milk
1 tsp organic ground ginger
Pinch of salt
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan. Dust lightly with flour.
Combine 2 1/2 cups of flour with 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tbsp ground ginger, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine butter with brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (Alternatively, use a large bowl with an electric hand mixer). Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream and molasses until well combined. Mix in half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk. Beat in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Scrape batter evenly into prepared pan, smoothing top.
Bake in centre of oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and let cool for at least 20 minutes. Turn out of pan and let cool completely.
Ginger Icing:
Whisk icing sugar with 2 tbsp milk, 1 tsp ground ginger and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. The icing will be thick but spreadable. Spoon icing over the top of the cooled Bundt cake, pushing to the edge so it drips over the sides of the cake.
