Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp red miso paste
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla

Miso Caramel Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp red miso paste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bundt pan (I use flour baking spray and it works like a charm!) and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugars, baking soda, and ginger until completely combined.
  • In a saucepan over medium low heat, melt and stir together water, miso pate, oil, and butter. Once fully combined, let cool for 3 minutes, add to dry mixture and mix.
  • Add in buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Once fully homogenized, pour into your prepared cake pan and bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cake rest and cool for 25 minutes and then remove from pan.

Miso Caramel Sauce

  • In a saucepan over medium high heat, melt butter and brown sugar until a thick caramel consistency has been reached and butter no longer floats to the top.
  • Whisk in miso paste, remove from heat, and transfer to jar or glass measuring cup until cooled.
  • Once cake has cooled, drizzle caramel sauce on top.
