Yield Makes 6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for the pans
2 ounces fresh ginger, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup Pumpkin Purée Pumpkin Puree
Whipped cream, for serving
Candied ginger, for garnish (optional)
Fresh mint, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Using a pastry brush, butter the interiors of six mini Bundt pans. Set aside.
  • Place fresh ginger and 3/4 cup hot water in small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; strain into a bowl; discard ginger. Add molasses and baking soda to liquid. Set aside.
  • Sift together flour, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and baking powder. Set the mixture aside.
  • In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and set on medium-high speed, beat remaining 4 tablespoons butter and brown sugar together until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce to low speed, and add pumpkin purée, mixing until just incorporated. Alternately add one quarter of dry ingredients and one third of molasses mixture, ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed, scraping bowl after each addition, until incorporated. Transfer mixture to Bundt pans, filling halfway. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes.
  • Invert Bundt pans onto a sheet pan; tap firmly several times on hard back surface of Bundt pans to release cakes.
  • Serve the pumpkin pudding cakes with whipped cream and garnish with candied ginger and fresh mint, if desired.

I'm not sure about the ginger glaze. I might try making these cakes with a different glaze.

I'm allergic to ginger. Can I substitute another spice?

I had some trouble getting the cakes to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best pumpkin cakes he's ever had.
