Whisk well to combine. Slowly whisk in the melted butter and molasses mixture. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together until the batter is smooth.Grease the Bundt pans well with butter and then with some all-purpose flour. Remove the excess flour by tapping the pan and flipping it upside down so that the extra flour is released.Divide the batter equally in the pan.Bake in the center rack for 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake at the 35-minute mark.

Let it come to room temperature before serving. Its a wonderful gift!Flavor Combinations: Dried fruit tastes wonderful in this cake. Fold in your favorite nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, chopped dates, even some chopped crystallized ginger. Get creative and make it as festive as you desire.Toppings: My favorite way to serve this is simply with some confectioners sugar, but cream cheese icing or an orange glaze really pairs well with the warm spices. A maple syrup glaze is also fantastic. Orange Glaze:1 cup confectioner's sugar4 tablespoons orange juiceMake the glaze by whisking the two ingredients together until smooth. Thicken it by adding more confectioners sugar or thin it out by adding a little more juice.For the cream cheese icing:8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature4 ounces unsalted butter, softened at room temperature4 cups sifted confectioner's sugar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract3-4 tablespoon orange juiceTo make the cream cheese icing beat the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add the confectioner's sugar a little at a time while beating on the lowest speed and add vanilla extract. Increase the speed and beat until light, smooth and fluffy. Whisk in some orange juice until the icing becomes a thinner more pourable consistency. Add some orange zest for more intense flavor.Official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/dimitrasdishesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dimitras.dishes/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dimitrasdis0637/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DimitrasDishesHere are links to some of my favorite cooking tools.
