  • 60g golden syrup
  • 230mL ginger tea, brewed strong and cooled
  • 410g The Healthy Baker Plain Flour
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ground all spice

For the icing

  • 160g icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 4-5 teaspoon water
  • to serve currants

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 160oC and grease a two-litre capacity Bundt tin.

2

Cream the butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then add the brewed tea, molasses and golden syrup. Mix on low speed as the mixture will be very wet.

3

In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and all the spices and whisk.

4

Add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix until everything is combined and the batter is smooth.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt tin and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre.

6

Once baked, allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.

7

To make the icing, add the icing sugar and maple extract to a medium bowl and whisk. Gradually add the water until you have a nice thick, smooth consistency. Spread the icing over the top of the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Decorate with fresh currants.
