 Ginger, Treacle and Orange Bundt Cake

Ginger, Treacle and Orange Bundt Cake

Bundt tins create a classic ring cake with many tins adding decorative patterns to the baked cake. You must grease and flour the tin well or the mixture will stick. Bake this cake in a standard 9 inch square cake tin if you don't have a Bundt. I've also made this cake and split it, sandwiching it back together with homemade orange curd.
