Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2–3 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
For the Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, or coat well with butter and dust with flour, making sure to get in all the crevices.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk butter, oil, and sugar together on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, and whisk until pale yellow and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and molasses and mix until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
- On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the cake batter, alternating the dry ingredients with the buttermilk a little at a time until they are completely incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then invert onto a cooling rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream.
For the Whipped Cream
- Add cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Chill the bowl for 15-20 minutes in the fridge before whipping if possible. Start the mixer out on a low speed, and as the cream begins to thicken, increase the speed to high. The cream is ready when you can stop and pull out the whisk attachment, and a peak of cream will hold its shape, about 3-5 minutes.
