Gingerbread Bundt Cake

Printable Recipe Mix together: 3 1/3 cups flour 2 ½ t. baking powder 1 ½ t. salt 1 T. ginger 1 ½ t. cinnamon 1 cup sugar Add: 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup molasses Slowly add: ¾ cup plus 2 T canola oil 1 cup boiling water Mix thoroughly. You'll need to scrape the sides and bottom of bowl. Pour batter into a greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan and bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes. This is a dark cake. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Holly's Note: I wanted to do a gingerbread bundt cake for a bridal shower (we were serving different bundt cakes). I found the original recipe at Pinch . I think this would be really good with vanilla ice cream or just real whipped cream. I served it sprinkled with powdered sugar. This post has been shared at Food on Fridays
