1 cup mild flavoured olive oil

1 cup freshly brewed coffee

Preheat oven to 350 ˚F. Generously butter a 12 cup Bundt pan (or two smaller Bundt pans), then spray with nonstick spray. Dust pan lightly with flour. Whisk 2 cups of flour and the next 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Combine sugar, molasses, olive oil, and eggs in large bowl; whisk until well blended. Add dry ingredients and stir to blend. Mix in hot coffee, then chocolate and crystallized ginger (most of chocolate will melt). Transfer batter to prepared pan.

SNOW??!!!
Annie, It seems that we have fallen into a state of perpetual winter. I'm hoping the spring hurries up and arrives.
Pandave, I was saying the exact same thing this morning, but down it came. I WANT spring!!!!
You torture me. :o)
Ilse Dance, Truth be told, I rarely make stuff like this and I'm starting my spring cleanse just as soon as this weekend is over.
As full as I am, that still looks good. I think that I just may have to try that one out.
This recipe sounds very tasty, Carla.
Happy Fool's Day, Nomad!
Coffee, chocolate, and spices...I am all about this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I've been baking more wintery foods as well (pumpkin bread). I should bake a sweet Easter Bread to encourage spring.
Jillie, If you do, hope you like it.
We're doomed, Thanks, it really is.
Fool, And a happy fool's day to you as well.
Burdock Boy, I've been thinking about baking Easter bread as well. Perhaps this weekend. And funny you say it, I've been doing a fair amount with pumpkin lately too. Found a great recipe for pumpkin pudding.
Oh how delicious,Carla!Thank you for sharing!Yummy!
Steffi, You're most welcome. I hope you get a chance to try the recipe.
Mmm, sounds delicious. We woke up to snow too and it's still going gangbusters, maybe I'll make this tomorrow!
Cheryl, I can't believe the weather. It was so warm a couple of weeks ago that I turned my heat off. Needless to say, I've turned it back on again. Hope you like this...it would go great with some of your chai tea. Mmmm...all that spice.
oh me oh my! this looks absolutely divine. woke up to snow too this morning. i have a layer of gelato and pasta around my waist that i need to tackle... but maybe it can wait a while longer ;)
Jeanine, We all need a little piece of goodness especially with the crazy cool weather we've been having. I'm sure you'll have your figure back in no time.
