GINGER-CHAI GLAZED BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Set a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350°.
• Prepare a bundt pan by brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with flour, tapping out the excess flour.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar till creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mix thoroughly, stop and scrape as you go to ensure even mixing.
• Add the flour mixture and chai alternately, beginning and ending with the flour in three parts and the chai in two parts. Mix thoroughly after each addition.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake for about 40 - 45 minutes, until the top springs back when pressed gently with a finger. Cool on a rack for about 20 - 30 minutes, depan and cool completely. (Place in freezer at this point to aid in glazing).
• To make the glaze, sift the powdered sugar with the spices and stir in the chai extract, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, to form a smooth, thick yet pourable glaze. It should be thick and ropy to cling to the cake. Set the cake on a rack over a plate and spoon the glaze in a circular fashion over the cake. Let it fall in place or smooth with an offset spatula, as you like. After a few minutes, spoon the dripped glaze from the plate back over the cake. Press the crystallized ginger onto the glaze as it sets, if using.

SPICE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan generously with non-stick baking spray.
• Whisk the flour with ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs well. Whisk in canola oil, then sugar and molasses. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir well. Add hot water and stir well.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack 10 minutes.
• Flip the cake out onto a rack set over a baking sheet. Let cake cool for another 5 minutes, then poke deep holes all over the cake using a long skewer. Drizzle glaze all over cake, trying to get some into each hole, and brushing the glaze so it covers the entire surface of the cake. Serve warm or let cool completely.
• To make the Lemon Glaze, whisk the icing sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
