Directions

1. Step1

   For cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 12-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray. Dust with flour.

2. Step2

   Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until foamy and brown, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour brown butter into a large, heatproof bowl; set aside to cool to room temperature.

3. Step3

   Meanwhile, whisk together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

4. Step4

   Add brown sugar, buttermilk, molasses, eggs and egg yolk, oil and grated gingerroot to bowl with browned butter; whisk until combined. Add flour mixture into buttermilk mixture; stir until just combined.

5. Step5

   Pour batter into prepared baking pan; spread evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes; invert and remove from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

6. Step6

   For icing, melt butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl on HIGH; cool slightly. Stir in powdered sugar and 3 Tbsp. milk until smooth. Drizzle icing over cake. If desired, use a small spoon to push icing slightly down the sides of the cake. Sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies and sugar crysvtals, if desired.
