Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup oatmeal stout beer or 1 cup Guinness stout
1 cup dark molasses
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 pinch ground cardamom
3 large eggs
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
confectioners' sugar (for dusting) (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter a 10-inch (10- to 12-cup) bundt pan well and dust with flour, shaking out excess.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Generously butter bundt pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess.
  • Bring stout and molasses to a boil in a large saucepan and remove from heat.
  • Whisk in baking soda, then cool to room temperature.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together eggs and both sugars.
  • Whisk in oil, then molasses mixture.
  • Add to flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
  • Pour batter into bundt pan and bang pan sharply on counter to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out with just a few moist crumbs adhering, about 50 minutes.
  • Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes.
  • Turn out onto rack and cool completely.
  • You can serve the gingerbread immediately, dusting lightly with confectioners sugar, and/or adding whipped cream.
  • You can also hold the gingerbread for a day before serving, as the flavors develop with some time.
