If there's something I never get sick of making, it has to be bundt cakes, you can get so many gorgeous tins these days that they can look amazing with a super simple recipe! I think they're great at this time of year so I've decided to make a chocolate gingerbread bundt cake. It's a super moist cake with a gorgeous ginger chocolate glaze! This would look great on the Christmas dinner table! I'm obsessed with the little gingerbread man sprinkles!

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
3 globes stem ginger, finely chopped
festive sprinkles to decorate
