Gingerbread Bundt Cake – A deliciously moist and fluffy ginger-spiced molasses cake drizzled with a sweet maple glaze!
Nothing beats the warm, comforting flavours of ginger and molasses during the holidays, so today I bring you my deliciously moist and fluffy Gingerbread Bundt Cake!
This is a quick and easy cake recipe that requires no mixer, because you’ll be using melted butter instead of creaming the butter and sugar together.
This recipe calls for cake flour to create a beautifully light and fluffy cake, and Greek-style yogurt to add incredible moisture.
Ingredients for Gingerbread Bundt Cake:
- cake flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- ground ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg
- large eggs
- brown sugar
- unsalted butter
- Greek-style yogurt
- molasses or black treacle
For the maple glaze:
- icing/powdered sugar
- maple syrup
- water
The delicious spices used in this cake are ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. All my favourite autumn flavours together in one cake. A nice, big slice would go perfectly with a hot cup of tea or coffee on a cold winter’s day!

Thanks for your recipes I am in the uk is cake flour the same as self raising,would like to make this but don’t want to use the wrong ingredients and it not turning out right.Family are enjoying the banana bread at the moment.
I’m in the uk would I use self raising flour have made your Bakewell traybake and everyone enjoyed thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hi Wendy! I’m from the UK aswell, so I always make my own cake flour. Self raising already has baking powder in it, but because we are already using baking powder and baking soda here, it wouldn’t be a good replacement. To make your own cake flour for this recipe, weigh out 375g of plain flour, remove 6 tablespoons, and replace with 6 tablespoons of cornflour.
Hi Masha,
This sounds amazing. Any chance of quantities of ingredients?
Much love,
Anna

This looks like the perfect cake for Christmas, but the last time I made a gingerbread cake, it was so dense, and it “shrunk” in my bunt pan. I might have used plain flour, since I am lazy/broke like that. Would cake flour make the cake”fluffy” and spongy?
Thank you! Yes, cake flour makes this cake fluffy and spongy 🙂 In my recipe notes, I also note how you can make your own cake flour using plain flour and cornflour 🙂
This looks delicious!! One question though, family is not a huge fan of maple syrup. Could I just omit that from the glaze?
Hi Karen, you could use golden syrup, or even corn syrup in the glaze instead!
Thank you!!
Oh my goodness, Marsha! That photo of the glaze dripping off the bundt… like, WOAH!! I’ve known for quite a while that you’re the queen of bundt cakes, but seriously! This is just stunning. 🙂 Now, what can I do to have a nice, thick slice of this? 🙂 Wishing you and your fam a wonderful weekend! xo
Thanks, Demeter! You too! 🙂 xo
Wow, this cake looks incredible! I love gingerbread!
Thanks, Miranda!
Oh my goodness. Marsha, this cake looks just PERFECT!!!! I am drooling over that ginger-spiced molasses cake! And the sweet maple glaze sounds like the perfect accompaniment! I could seriously eat a few slices of these for breakfast right now! LOVE IT! Cheers!
