Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
2 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temp
2 tbsp peeled grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger , puree
2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream or 1 cup creme fraiche
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup granulated sugar
confectioners' sugar , for dusting

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 10 inch bundt pan.
Sift together in a large bowl: flours, ground ginger, baking powder and soda, salt.
Set Aside.
Beat butter in a separate bowl until light and creamy about 2 minutes.
Gradually add the sugar at medium high speed until the mixture is light in color and texture, about 3 minutes.
Beat in one egg at a time, beating 30-40 seconds after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Beat in the grated ginger, crystallized ginger or puree, lemon zest and vanilla extract.
At low speed, add the sifted mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream ( or creme fraiche) Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth with a spatula.
Bake the cake 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto another rack.
Slide a baking sheet under the cake to catch the glaze drippings.
While the cake is baking, combine the lemon juice and sugar in a small, nonreactive saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat.
Using a pastry brush, dab the syrup generously all over the surface of the warm cake, allowing it to soak in before reapplying.
Use the whole pan of soaking syrup.
Dust the cooked cake with confectioners sugar.
