  • 250 ml of Buttermilk

  • 245 grams of Heavy Cream

Instructions

Gingerbread Bundt Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F)
  • In a bowl, sift and add the white rice flour, tapioca flour, corn starch, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground clove, and allspice. Then using a whisk, combine the ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, add the unsalted butter and brown sugar. Using a stand-alone mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand-held mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Then, add the egg, golden syrup, buttermilk, and grated ginger. Beat at medium-high speed until creamy (1-2 minutes).
  • Now, add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar, and beat at low speed until combined (3-4 minutes). Transfer the gingerbread cake batter to a greased bundt pan.
  • Bake the gingerbread bundt cake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.

Caramel Sauce

  • Important Notice: Caramelized sugar is hot and dangerous. Therefore, please follow the directions as written and do not rush the process.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add the sugar and water and give it a gentle stir to combine. Now, transfer the saucepan to the stovetop over medium-low heat. Do not stir the sugar, as this will lead to crystallization. Remove the saucepan from heat once the sugar color has turned amber (10-15 minutes).
  • Immediately, add the heavy cream at intervals with one hand while you stir using a spatula with the other hand. DO NOT ADD THE HEAVY CREAM AT ONCE. Keep adding small amounts of heavy cream and stirring until you run out of heavy cream. Then carefully transfer the caramel to a jar and let it cool down to room temperature.
  • Drizzle the caramel sauce over the gingerbread bundt cake, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Safety Precaution: When making the caramel sauce, make sure to have the heavy cream and the spatula next to you to prevent any accidents and rushing. Keep your face away from the saucepan when adding the heavy cream, as the caramel will make a lot of steam. Do not attempt to add the heavy cream all at once, as you will risk getting injured or burnt.
  • Storage and Freezing: The gingerbread bundt cake can be stored at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to three days. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to a week. If you would like to freeze the bundt cake, wrap it with plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. The cake can be frozen for up to two months.
  • Caramel Sauce: The caramel sauce can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Dairy-free option: The gingerbread bundt cake can be made dairy-free by substituting butter with vegan butter. Furthermore, to make dairy-free buttermilk add one tablespoon of lemon juice to full-fat coconut milk and let it sit for 10 minutes before use.
