Today is Christmas in July! As part of the celebration, Disney has released a recipe for delicious Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes with Orange-Vanilla Sauce. The recipe comes from Disneyland Resort pastry chefs who were asked to come up with their favorite gingerbread recipe. What came out of this request was this recipe for Mini Gingerbread Bundt Cakes with Orange-Vanilla Sauce.
This recipe has the classic spices associated with gingerbread (also a theme with merchandise this year) along with some tasty surprises as well. There is some zested fresh ginger that will balance out the molasses. There is also amber lager beer to make sure the cake is nice and moist. Couple all of this with the Orange-Vanilla Sauce and it is a wonderful holiday treat for Christmas in July!

I made mini bundt cakes with this. These were light, airy, and delicious. Unfortunately, they were difficult to get out of the bundt pans. I ended up making cupcakes out of the remaining batter. Made over 40 in all.
