Spicy Fresh Ginger Cake

Print Recipe

This recipe is good and simple. Therefore, it is a great cake to dress up with other flavors and components. I like to serve this cake with whipped cream, candied orange peel, eggnog ice cream, a sprinkling a cinnamon and caramel sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4oz fresh ginger
  • 1 c molasses
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 c vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 c flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 c water
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 eggs each

Instructions

  1. Preheat the over to 350F. Lone two 9-inch cake pans with pan spreay and parchment paper.
  2. Peel and chop the ginger so it is very fine (you can also use a grater). Mix together molasses, sugar, and oil
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients (flour, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper).
  4. In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the baking soda.
  5. Add the hot water mixture into the molasses mixture and then stir in ginger.
  6. Whisk in the eggs
  7. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until just incorporated.
  8. Fill the baking pans 1/2 full and bake until the cake springs back to a light touch. Careful not to over bake – this cake will be very moist.

Notes

Using the back of spoon, create a circle of fresh whipped cream on the bottom of a plate.
Place a wedge of the cake on top of the cream.
Top the cake with a small teaspoon of candied orange peel or good quality marmalade.
Drizzle with caramel sauce and dust with cinnamon powder.
Serve with a scoop of ice cream on top (I recommend using eggnog or caramel flavored ice-cream).
