For the Vanilla Glaze:

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan with oil and dust it with flour to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, molasses, applesauce, oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fill the Bundt Pan:

  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool the Cake:

  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Make the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.

Glaze and Serve:

  • Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle or sift powdered sugar on after. Slice and enjoy!
