This easy Homemade Gingerbread Bundt Cake is so quick to make your family will never believe how little time it took for you to whip it up. Bread recipes don’t always have to take a long time!
Gingerbread Bundt cake is one of those classic desserts that’s made during the late Fall and early Winter months around the holidays. I love making it in the bundt pan instead of a flat pan because it just looks so much prettier! This cake is flavored with ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, and of course, the distinct flavor of molasses.
This bundt cake may look like it took some serious holiday magic to make, but it is actually so easy to make in just a few simple steps and a handful of pantry staples. It’s the perfect cake to make this holiday season. If you love gingerbread, you have to try these Honey Gingerbread Cookies.
