Gingerbeer bundt cake

The other day I was craving some Christmas food. Well, you know, gingerbread cookies, spiced nuts, rich pudding... So I decided to to give myself a Christmas treat before Christmas. And I am happy to share it with you guys! See how generous I am? :-)

Gingerbeer bundt cake

Recipe

For the cake:
2 1/4 cups of AP flour
1 3/4 tsp of baking powder
1/3 tsp of salt
2 tsp of ground ginger
190g of butter (or margarine)
1 cup of sugar
3 eggs (separated)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
3 Tbsp on milk
1 cup of gingerbeer
1/8 tsp of cream of tartar

For the glaze:
1/2 cup of icing sugar
1/2 tsp of ground ginger
2-3 tsp of gingerbeer (can be more or less to make a runny consistency)

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.

Mix all dry ingredients.
Separate egg yolks and whites.
Cream butter and sugar for at least 3 minutes, or till fluffy. Add yolks and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients alternating with gingerbeer.
Whisk egg whites with cream of tartar till soft peaks. Fold them into batter in 2 additions (one third first, then the remaining two thirds).

Pour batter into a baking tin and bake at 180C (gas 4) for approximately 1 hour (or till a wooden skewer comes out clean).

To make the glaze mix all the ingredients till they make a runny consistency. You might need to add more or less gingerbeer, so add it to icing sugar gradually.

Enjoy!
