Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together all Dry Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, cream together the European-style Unsalted Butter and Dark Muscovado Sugar until very light and fluffy. This may take 5-7 minutes.
Beat in the Large Eggs one at a time, then stir in the Blackstrap Molasses, Crème Fraîche, and Vanilla Bean Paste.
Gradually add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the finely chopped Candied Ginger.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Spiced Rum Glaze, whisk together the Powdered Sugar, Dark Rum, and Ground Cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
