Gingerbread Spice Latte Bundt Cake: Moist, spicy Bundt cake flavored with molasses and gingerbread spices and espresso powder all glazed with chocolate coffee icing.
Happy National Bundt Cake Day!
Who doesn’t love a good Bundt cake?
I love them because the pan does the decorating for you.
And if you are like me you need all the help you can get when it comes to decorating.
I have a lot of Bundt pans but decided to go with the classic shape for this cake.
You can use whatever one you wish as long as it holds 10-12 cups.
I warned you that I was on a gingerbread kick and I still am. 🙂
This cake has more of a hint of coffee than a knock you over the head with coffee flavor.
So if you want more coffee flavor add more espresso powder to your cake batter.

I made this wonderful cake for Christmas. I couldn’t find gingerbread spice, so I the livforcake spice mix. The cake was excellent but it was more of a spice cake. Next time I’ll add more ginger. 😉 Thanks for another great recipe Peabody. Wishing you & yours an outstanding 2019.
