Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup natural molasses
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt pan with vegetable oil or plant-based butter alternative, ensuring every nook is coated to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, and the ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg to ensure even distribution for consistent flavor.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together natural brown sugar, natural molasses, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, non-dairy milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well combined.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula just until the batter is smooth and homogeneous avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Remove: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes to set, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving or decorating.

Notes

  • Use plant-based milk and oil at room temperature for a smooth batter and even baking.
  • Taste and adjust your spice blend before combining to suit your preference.
  • Fold ingredients gently and avoid over-mixing to keep the cake light and tender.
  • Start checking for doneness at 35 minutes as oven times may vary.
  • Choose dark, rich natural molasses for deeper flavor and better color in the cake.
