How to make Gingerbread Bundt Cake

• Gather the necessary ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk until they are combined.
• Next, you’ll add the eggs, brown sugar, buttermilk, eggs, molasses, and butter to the bowl of your stand mixer. If you don’t own a stand mixer, simply use hand beaters. They work just as well!
• Mix the wet ingredients. When those have been combined add the dry ingredients and mix until everything has come together.
• Grease and flour a bundt pan. When I use bundt pans I always grease and flour AND do a light coating of Baker’s Joy cooking spray. Bundt pans are finicky and so I do this is an extra precaution.
• Bake the cake. Let it cool.
• Top with the maple glaze and watch it be devoured!

The next time you need to bake a holiday cake, be sure to give this one a try!

It’s a the BEST Gingerbread Bundt Cake recipe on the internet! Trust me, friends. ❤️

*When I make bundt cakes, I'll often grease and flour my pan AND spray it lightly with cooking spray that has flour in it (such as Baker's Joy).
