Ingredients

Gingerbread Cakes

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. allspice
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cardamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup (one stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsulphered molasses
  • 1/2 cup water

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 2-3 Tbsp. whole milk

Instructions

Gingerbread Cakes

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini bundt pan generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, cardamon and nutmeg.  Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter and the brown sugar. Beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary, until well combined. Add molasses and continue to mix until well combined.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the water. Begin with the flour mixture and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each 2/3 full. 
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cake appears springy when touched with your finger. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 5 minutes, then carefully invert pan onto wire rack to cool completely. 

Maple Glaze

  • Combine confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and two tablespoons milk in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth. Add an additional tablespoon of milk, if needed to reach desired consistency for dipping cake into. (I used 3 tablespoons milk)
  • Invert cooled mini bundt cakes into maple glaze until coated well. Place glazed cakes on a wire rack set over a piece of parchment paper until the glaze hardens.
  • Cakes can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
