Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube pan, such as Bundt.

Step 2

Sift together flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in grated ginger root and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 4
