Gingerbread Coffee Cake

This coffee cake's dark, mysterious, marvelously gingery flavor appeals to all ages and tastes. Beyond the usual great base of organic flour, real butter, flour and fresh eggs, the pastry masters at our Bakehouse use an array of amazing ingredients to make this coffee cake. Crystallized and ground ginger, lots of dark molasses, a bit of brewed coffee, a splash of fresh orange juice, Indonesian cinnamon, cloves and (my personal favorite) Balinese long pepper.

It's ultra-moist and lasts and lasts—if it's hidden well. Let it loose on a table, though, and it's gone.

Choose from the Nosher (serves 5-7) or Fresser (serves 10-12) sized cakes. Each comes gift boxed either in our wooden cheese crate (illustrated at right) or our fun, cartoon cardboard gift box.

This handmade coffee cake's ingredients are organic wheat flour (organic wheat, malted barley), molasses, sugar, fresh eggs, butter, canola oil, orange juice, coffee from Zingerman's Coffee Company, demerera sugar, crystallized ginger, baking soda, ground mustard, Balinese long pepper, cloves, Indonesian cinnamon, ground ginger, and sea salt.

“Zingerman's has created a ginger cake that vanished off our meeting table as soon as it was put out.”

"It was perfect."
Dorie Greenspan

"We just reluctantly finished the last piece of your gingerbread coffee cake, and we have been moved to write and tell you: NEVER CHANGE IT. Not one iota. It’s a rarity in this world: total perfection... We’ve had a lot of gingerbread in our day, but this … Wow. Just … wow."
