January 26, 2024
Serves
This sticky, Christmas spiced gingerbread cake with hot toffee sauce and clotted cream makes a perfect dessert or teatime treat over the festive season. Like a fine wine, it improves with age so bake it 2 to 3 days in advance or make it now and freeze for up to 3 months (without the sauce).
STICKY GINGERBREAD BUNDT WITH TOFFEE SAUCE & CORNISH CLOTTED CREAM
Serves: 10Method
Step 1
For the gingerbread, heat the oven to 180C/Fan 160C/Gas 4. Generously grease a 10 cup bundt tin with butter, then sprinkle with flour. Turn the bundt tin upside down and tap out any excess flour.
Step 2
Place the butter, sugar, treacle and ginger syrup in a pan and cook over a low heat for 3 minutes, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
Step 3
Very finely chop the stem ginger and place in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk. Add the eggs and whisk on high speed for 3 – 5 minutes, until the eggs are light and fluffy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon and mixed spice together.
Step 5
With the mixer on low speed, pour the warm syrupy mixture into the eggs and mix for 30 seconds. Then add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not over mix.
Step 6
Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the yoghurt with a large metal spoon or rubber spatula.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared bundt tin and bake for 45 – 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely or serve warm.
Step 8
For the toffee sauce, place the butter, sugar and clotted cream in a pan and heat over a medium heat, stirring, until the butter and cream have melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and pour into a serving jug.
Step 9
Serve the sticky gingerbread with the toffee sauce and a good dollop of clotted cream.
