Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Maple Glaze

 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
 1 tsp Baking Soda
 3 ½ tsp Ground Ginger
 3 tsp Ground Cinnamon
 ¾ tsp Ground Cloves
 ½ tsp Ground Allspice
 ¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg
 ½ tsp salt
 1 cup Colavita Olive Oil
 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
 ¼ cup Unsulphured Molasses
 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
 ½ cup Sour Cream, room temperature
 ¾ cup Buttermilk, , room temperature
Maple Glaze
 1 cup Powdered Sugar
 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
 1 tsp Maple Extract
 2 tbsp Milk
1

Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Generously grease a 10 to 16 cup Bundt pan and set aside.

2

In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.

3

With an electric mixer, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, eggs and vanilla on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

4

Mix in the sour cream until combined. Another minute or so.

5

Next, add half of the dry ingredients and mix on the lowest speed until nearly combined. Followed by all of the buttermilk, mixing on low until just combined. Finally, end with the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

6

Transfer the batter to your prepared Bundt pan and bake for about 42 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Do not overbake!

7

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8

When you are ready to serve, make your glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon maple extract, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 2 tablespoons of milk. For a thinner glaze, add more milk as needed.

9

Drizzle glaze on top of the cake and serve. Enjoy!!
