PUMPKIN GINGER TUNNEL CAKE



PUMPKIN GINGER TUNNEL CAKE image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert     Thanksgiving

Yield 12-14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

For the filling
12 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup very finely chopped crystallized ginger
For the cake
Softened unsalted butter, for the pan
10 oz. (2-1/4 cups) all-purpose flour; more for the pan
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbs. ground ginger
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 15-oz. can pure pumpkin purée
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the filling In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer) beat the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, ginger, and salt on medium speed until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and then the crystallized ginger. Transfer to a 1-quart liquid measure and set aside. Make the cake Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium bowl. Whisk the pumpkin, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. In 3 or 4 additions, add the dry ingredients, whisking well between each addition. Fill the prepared Bundt pan with about half of the batter. Stir the filling to redistribute the chopped ginger. While dragging a large serving spoon through the center of the batter to create a trough, pour all of the filling into the trough; it may overflow the trough a bit, which is OK. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top and spread to cover. Bake until a skewer inserted all the way to the bottom comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes and then invert onto a serving plate and remove the cake pan. Cool completely. (If not serving the cake within a couple of hours, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days; serve cold or at room temperature.) Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Grating your own ginger ensures a more intense and aromatic taste compared to using pre-ground ginger.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter until just combined, then stop. Overbeating can lead to gluten formation, resulting in a dry, crumbly texture.
  • Use a bundt pan for a beautiful presentation. The intricate design of a bundt pan allows for even cooking and a visually stunning cake that's perfect for special occasions.
  • Don't overbake the cake. An overbaked cake will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from running off the cake.
  • Glaze the cake while it's still slightly warm. This will make it easier for the glaze to soak into the cake and create a glossy finish.
  • Store the cake at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or foil before storing to prevent it from drying out.

Conclusion:

Enjoy a tantalizing fusion of flavors with our irresistible Ginger Pumpkin Cake! This delectable creation combines the warm, cozy notes of pumpkin with a hint of zesty ginger, resulting in a moist, flavorful cake that will tantalize your taste buds.
