Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan or an alternative cake pan with butter to ensure easy release.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
- In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, then add in the large eggs one at a time and mix well, followed by the rich molasses.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once frosted, decorate the top with rosemary sprigs, star anise, and cinnamon sticks.
