Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour, sift the flour or put it through a sieve (I4.75 oz weight**)
  • 5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt, scant
  • 1 cup mild molasses
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup toasted chopped walnuts
  • cup chopped crystallized ginger

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spray a 10 inch fluted tube (Bundt) pan with flour-added cooking spray or rub with shortening and dust with flour.
  • Whisk together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together molasses, sugar, eggs and oil. Stir in boiling water, followed by vanilla. Add flour mixture and stir until mixed, then stir in chopped walnuts and ginger.
  • Bake on center rack for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 15 mintues, then flip out onto a cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely, then prepare the drizzle.

Glaze

  • In a 2 cup glass measure, microwave the butter for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in the lemon juice, then add a couple of spoonfuls of powdered sugar and stir until smooth. Keep adding sugar, stirring well, until the icing is a good drizzling consistency. To test, hold some in a spoon and let it fall back into the cup. Hold the measuring cup of the cake and drizzle it decoratively down sides.
  • Note: If your Bundt pan (fluted tube pan) is black, bake at 325 degrees F. for 45 to 55 minutes.

Notes

If you don't have a scale and can't weigh out the flour, make sure to stir it well before measuring.
