- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- BOURBON SAUCE
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Bourbon
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9 inch Bundt pan. Dust with cocoa powder and tap out excess; set aside. Put butter molasses, brown sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has melted. Transfer to a large bowl. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Add eggs, milk, and grated ginger to the molasses mixture; whisk to combine. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, and cinnamon into a medium bowl.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined. There should be lumps remaining. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- Invert cake, and unmold into a cake stand or a large serving platter. Using a spoon, drizzle the warm bourbon sauce over the cake in a back and forth motion. Serve immediately.
