Scale

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 stick butter (softened)

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon coffee
Instructions
- Prepare your bundt pan: Spray or grease your bundt pan thoroughly to ensure your cake releases easily.
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so that it’s nice and hot for baking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices until well combined.
- Blend the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the molasses, eggs, milk, and strong coffee, mixing well until well combined.
- Combine the mixtures: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined; don’t overmix.
- Fill the bundt pan: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake your cake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and unmold: Let the cake cool for a few minutes in the pan, then gently invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Drizzle with glaze: Prepare and drizzle the cinnamon coffee glaze over the cooled cake before serving to create a wonderful shine.
Notes
