Method
- Butter a 10-inch (10- to 12-cup) bundt pan well and dust with flour, shaking out excess.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Generously butter bundt pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess.

- Sift flour, baking powder, and spices in a large bowl.
- Whisk together eggs and both sugars.
- Whisk in oil, then molasses mixture.
- Add to flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
- Pour batter into bundt pan and bang pan sharply on counter to eliminate air bubbles.

- You can serve the gingerbread immediately, dusting lightly with confectioners sugar, and/or adding whipped cream.
- You can also hold the gingerbread for a day before serving, as the flavors develop with some time.
