Ginger is one of my most favourite flavours. Starting from chai, savoury dishes, gingerbread cookies and cakes. Ginger is one versatile flavour! So when the people over at Sprig asked me if I was interested in working with a new product they launched I was elated. This cake is simple, yummy, super soft and very easy to make.
Serve it with tea, as an afternoon snack or make it for a family gathering. It’s a delight to share (or just eat it all yourself :p)
Prep time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 35-40 mins
Yield: one 9 inch bundt cake (serves 7-8)
For the cake:
150g unsalted butter (softened at room temperature)
A pinch of salt
20g oil
2 eggs
70ml caramel (it gives a beautiful colour to the cake)
30 ml milk
40 g Sprig Montane Ginger Marmalade
60ml orange juice
2 tsp orange zest
150g sugar
170g flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp vanilla
For the glaze
100g cream cheese
80g icing sugar
METHOD:
1. In a microwave safe bowl, heat up the milk for about 1 minute, then add the Sprig Montane Ginger Marmalade and mix well, keep aside to cool. Zest and juice a large orange in a separate bowl and keep aside.
2. Preheat your oven to 175°C, grease and flour a 9 inch bundt pan (I have a shallow 9 inch bundt pan, if you have a deeper pan, kindly use a smaller pan. You can also use an 8 inch round/square pan)
3. In a separate bowl, take your room temperature butter, oil, sugar and salt and whisk till incorporated well. (You can also use a hand blender or stand mixer)
4. Add the eggs one by one, whisking after each addition, then add vanilla, milk and marmalade mixture, orange juice and zest. Mix until blended.
5. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger and cinnamon into the butter mixture and then add the caramel. Whisk well, but do not over mix.
6. Add the batter into the bundtt pan (it should fill about 3/4th of the pan) and bake for about 30-35 minutes depending on your oven. Check after 30 minutes, remove from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.*
7. Let the cake cool for about 15-20 minutes in the bundt pan, then remove into a serving plate. Be careful with the cake as it is very delicate.
GLAZE:
1. Take your room temperature cream cheese and mix with a spatula till there are no lumps, then add the sugar and mix well. (You may add a little milk if the glaze is too stiff)
2. Glaze the cake once it is cooled to room temperature. Serve as it is or top it with crushed nuts.
NOTES:
1. Make sure you generously grease your bundt pan and flour it properly for easy removal.
2. If you use a dark coloured pan then cover the bottom of the pan with Aluminium foil, otherwise it can burn the bottom of your cake.
The cake should last a good few days if stored in an air tight container, you can refrigerate it if you want to keep it longer.

Where does the incorporation of milk and marmalade in the later stages of cake batter?
Hi Leenu, I am sorry in the method I didn’t type the addition of milk. Thank you for noticing the error. I have rectified it.
