- Cake:
- 11.25 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup canola oil
- 2/3 cup golden cane syrup (such as Lyle's Golden Syrup)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
- 2/3 cup ginger ale, at room temperature
- Baking spray with flour (such as Baker's Joy)
- Glaze:
- 1 cup kumquats, thinly sliced and seeded
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Dash of salt
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- To prepare cake, weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
- Combine canola oil and next 4 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until well combined. Stir in ginger. Add flour mixture and ginger ale alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined. Scrape batter into a 12-cup Bundt pan coated with baking spray. Bake at 350u0b0 for 38 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes on a wire rack. Invert cake onto plate.
- To prepare glaze, place kumquats, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water in saucepan, and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain kumquat mixture through a sieve into a bowl, reserving sugar syrup and kumquats.
- Combine powdered sugar, dash of salt, and 3 tablespoons reserved syrup, stirring with a whisk until smooth; reserve remaining syrup for another use. Stir in kumquats. Spoon warm glaze over warm cake.
