This gingerbread bundt cake is the perfect celebration cake for the holidays. It's a tender and moist gluten free cake filled with molasses and warm spices and topped with a white chocolate ganache icing.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan and set aside.
Combine the gluten free flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together to mix well.
2 ½ Cups (370 g) Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour Blend, 1 teaspoon Baking Soda, 4 teaspoons Ground Ginger, 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg, 1 teaspoon Ground Allspice, ½ teaspoon Ground Cloves, ½ teaspoon Salt
Add the butter, brown sugar and molasses to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
¾ Cup (170 g) Vegan Butter, 1 ½ Cups (320 g) Light Brown Sugar, ½ Cup (170 g) Molasses
Add in the vanilla extract. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing for 60 seconds between each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl again.
1 teaspoon Vanilla, 3 large (150 g) Eggs
Turn the mixer to low speed. Add half of the dry ingredients following by half of the milk. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and stir until just combined.
1 Cup (227 g) Non Dairy Milk
Transfer the cake batter to your prepared pan. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the top center springs back when gently poked.
Remove the cake from the oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes, before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the ganache:
Heat the cream in a microwave safe bowl for about 1 minute on high. You don't want the cream to be too hot as white chocolate needs a lower melting point that brown chocolate.
⅓ Cup (86 g) Plant Based Cream
Add the chopped white chocolate into the cream and allow it to sit for a couple of minutes. Then gently stir the white chocolate until it melts into a smooth sauce. It will be quite thin.
7 ounces (190 g) Dairy Free White Chocolate
Once the chocolate is completely melted, you will want to rest the ganache for 5-10 minutes (depending on the temperature of your kitchen). This will let it thicken a bit so it's a good consistency for pouring. I recommend doing a little trial pour with a spoonful of white chocolate to make sure it has thickened enough before you dump it over the whole cake. :)
