Equipment

  • Bundt tin
  • Electric whisk

Ingredients

  • 250 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp Steenbergs Lebkuchen spice blend
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 180 ml black treacle
  • 180 ml hot water it needs to be about 38 degrees C
  • 115 g unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 67 g dark brown or muscavado sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

To Decorate

  • 1 tub Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting
  • Edible silver glitter
  • Yoghurt coated ginger

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with oil spray or butter
  • Mix the flour, baking soda, spice and salt together in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl or jug mix the black treacle with the hot water.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld mixer beat together the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat the mixture again to fully combine.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Carefully add the flour and treacle mixture alternating in 3 stages until all combined. The batter will be quite thin but don’t worry.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared bundt tin and cook for 40 minutes. Check with a skewer. If it comes out clean you know the cake is done. Remember all ovens are different and your cake may require a little more or less time. If the skewer comes out wet put it back in the oven for 5 minutes and test with the skewer again. Repeat as necessary.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the tin before carefully turning out onto a wire wrack.
  • Decorate as you wish. I lightly melted a tub of Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting to create a glaze consistency and poured it over my cake. I wanted it to have drips down the sides. Of course feel free to make your own cream cheese frosting or glaze for your cake or leave it natural. I used yogurt coated ginger pieces to decorate the top of my cake and spritzed it with silver edible glitter. The yoghurt coated ginger bits made me think of little snowballs which felt very apt for this warming spiced bundt cake.
