Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Eggs
- Milk
- Molasses
- Gluten Free Flour
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Sea Salt
- Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Ginger
- Ground Nutmeg
- Ground Cloves
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of your bundt pan with butter or coconut oil. Set aside.
Add the butter and brown sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until creamed together, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla, eggs, milk and molasses to the egg mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are blended together.
In a medium bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just blended together.
Pour the batter evenly into your bundt pan. Bang the pan a couple of times on a hard surface to get any air pockets out.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. The cake will be browned and slightly pulling away from the sides of your pan when it's done.
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a cooling rack.
Let the cake cool completely before icing. I like to let my cake cool overnight.
For the icing whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk until you there aren't any lumps. If the icing is too thick add a bit more milk. If the icing is too thin add a bit more powdered sugar.
Pour the icing over the cooled cake and serve.

I like to use the recipe below for a simple vanilla glaze. You can make the glaze as thick or thin as you would like with how much milk you add. This cake would also be amazing warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Can you use coconut sugar?
smallfarmbiglife says
Using only coconut sugar and not regular cane sugar will change the taste and texture. I would not personally swap out coconut sugar in this recipe. ~Elaine
