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.

I'm hoping for a bundt pan for Christmas !! I see all these bundt cakes and can't make them!
I had made bundt cake before, but never has ginger bread bundt cake. Nice!
Your recipe sounds awesome.
Happy New Year
Sounds lovely - do you have to use a Bundt pan?
Polly, probably not, but it certainly makes a lovely presentation!
That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds delicious with powdered sugar on top. Mmm. How about a lemon glaze too? I'm definitely keeping this in mind for baking for my book club. Thanks.

I absolutely love gingerbread. The first thing I do when I see a gingerbread recipe is to see how much molasses is in it. If there's only a little bit, I skip right over the recipe. This one looks like it would have good molasses flavor.
