This month we were cooking to a "Holiday theme" for the Bundt a Month cake challenge. So I came up with the idea of a Gingerbread cake. I served it with a Caramel Sauce and Salted Caramel Ice-cream. Yum was the veridic all-round.

Gingerbread Spice Bundt Cake with Caramel Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg white
- 1½ tsp (7 mL) vanilla
- 2¾ cups (675 mL / 340g) sifted cake-and-pastry flour
- 1⅔ cups (400 mL / 365g) granulated sugar
- 2½ tsp (10 mL) baking powder
- 2½ tsp (10 mL) ground ginger
- 1¼ tsp (6 mL) cinnamon
- ½ tsp (2 mL) baking soda
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) ground cloves
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- ¾ cup (175 mL / 180g) softened butter
Caramel Sauce:
- ⅔ cup (150 mL / 150g) packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60 mL / 60g) butter
- ¼ cup (60 mL) 35% cream
Cooking Directions
- Pre-heat oven to (180°C) 350°F
- In a bowl, whisk together 3/4 of the buttermilk, eggs, egg white and vanilla. In another bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg and salt.
- Place into a mixer and beat in butter and remaining buttermilk; then beat at medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Slowly beat in egg mixture, a little at a time, beating between each addition.
- Pour into a greased 10 (3 L) Bundt pan; run a knife through the batter to remove any air bubbles. Bake about 40 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto rack and let cool completely.
- Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan, bring sugar, butter and cream to boil stirring constantly. Boil until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
- Pour over cake just before you serve.
