Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup packed brown sugar
15 oz canned pumpkin
1 cup full-flavor molasses
9 tablespoons butter, softened (1 stick plus 1 tbsp, divided)
2 large eggs
1 cup boiling water
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, molasses, canned pumpkin, and 8 tablespoons (½ cup) softened butter. Mix until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time to the wet mixture, mixing after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (about 1 cup at a time) to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just combined.
Pour in the boiling water and mix well until the batter is smooth.
Grease the bundt pan thoroughly with 1 tablespoon softened butter, making sure to get into all crevices. Dust with 1 tablespoon flour and shake to coat evenly.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 30–45 minutes before gently loosening the sides with a knife and inverting onto a plate.
Once cooled completely, sift 1 tablespoon powdered sugar over the top for a simple finish.
Notes
A non-stick bundt pan helps, but always butter and flour thoroughly to ensure an easy release.
This cake stores well and tastes even better the next day.
Pairs perfectly with coffee, chai, or warm apple cider.
