whipped cream, to serve (optional) icing sugar, for dusting (optional) 1 Butter and flour a 12 cup (3 L) Bundt pan (10-in/25 cm), and set aside. 2 Preheat oven to 360 F (180 C). 3 In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice and nutmeg. Set aside. In another small bowl, mix water, rum, molasses and vanilla extract. 4 In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter on high until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and mix until light
and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. 5 With mixer on medium, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down bowl as needed. Mix another 1 to 2 minutes, or until well combined.
6 Turn mixer to low and mix in dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with liquid ingredients and mixing after each addition just until incorporated. You will start and end with dry ingredients. Do not overmix. Scrape down bowl as needed. 7 Transfer batter to prepared Bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, rotating pan halfway through. Test if cake is done by inserting a wooden skewer. It will come out clean or with only a few crumbs once cake is cooked. If cake requires more time, bake in 10-minute increments.
8 Once cake is done, cool at room temperature on a wire rack. Turn out onto a platter to serve. Dust with icing sugar, if using, and serve on its own or with whipped cream. Serves 8 to 10
