Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with unsalted butter or cooking spray, then dust lightly with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in molasses and mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with bourbon and boiling water until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack.
  9. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and bourbon until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
