Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Zest from one orange
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • Juice from one orange
  • Water

Glaze

  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt pan. I use bakers spray with flour. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. 
  • Add butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and fluffy, about three minutes. 
  • Add eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition. Add molasses. 
  • Squeeze orange juice into a measuring cup. Add enough water to make one cup. Set aside. 
  • Add the flour in three additions alternating with the orange juice juice, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth  out the top. 
  • Bake the cake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
  • While the cake is baking, mix together the glaze ingredients. Set aside. 
  • Take the cake out of the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack. 
  • Brush the glaze on the hot cake and allow to cool completely.
