Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Prep your bundt pan by brushing with melted butter and then dusting with flour. Be sure to get in all the crevices.
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and spices together in a bowl.
- Cream the butter and oil together with the sugar. Blend in the eggs and molasses.
- Add the dry ingredients alternating with the half and half, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix just until thoroughly combined, but don't over mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or just until done in the middle...you can check with a toothpick.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then gently loosen the edges and carefully invert onto a cooling rack.
- Whisk the confectoner's sugar with the water to form a smooth glaze. Paint the glaze onto the cake with a pastry brush. The first layer will sink right in. Brush on 2 more layers to build up the glaze. (This makes a little more glaze than you will probably need, but better to be safe than sorry.)
Notes
- Make a thicker glaze using milk or cream for a sweeter cake.
- Substitute maple syrup for the water in the glaze, then thin with water if necessary.
