Cooking Instructions

This dark spicy cake is reminiscent of gingerbread. Serve it with whipped cream if you like, but it has an excellent moist texture and robust flavor unadorned. Use confectioner’s sugar for sprinkling. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12-C. Bundt pan. Combine flour, soda, salt and spices. Beat oil, molasses, sugar and eggs until combined. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Beat in stout. Pour into prepared pan. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan, for 40-45 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely. Dust with confectioner’s sugar.
