This grain free and paleo Gingerbread Bundt Cake is moist and tender, with a sweet cinnamon maple pecan swirl! Topped with a sweet maple glaze, this gluten-free, dairy-free cake is sure to be a favorite for the holiday season!
It’s time to start breaking out the BEST of the holiday desserts, don’t you think?! And today is a good day for dessert! Because not only am I sharing this ridiculously delicious gingerbread bundt cake, but I also teamed up with a few of my real-food blogger friends to bring you four additional brand new Paleo holiday dessert recipes!
Let’s start with the Gingerbread Bundt Cake because I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. It’s a simple recipe that’s totally gluten and dairy free, free of refined sugar, EASY to make (and relatively fast!) and a total showstopper.
We have a moist and tender gingerbread cake with an extra layer of cinnamon sugar goodness and crunchy toasty pecans. But of course I didn’t stop there – I went for a sweet maple glaze for the finishing touch on this festive cake. It’s perfect to make for a party and you can even make it the day before without losing freshness or flavor.
What You Need to Make Paleo Gingerbread Cake
Here’s the list of ingredients for the gingerbread bundt cake. This includes what you’ll need for the swirl and the glaze:
- Blanched Almond Flour
- Tapioca Flour
- Coconut Sugar, or maple sugar
- Baking Powder
- Baking soda
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Allspice
- Sea salt
- Eggs
- Almond Milk
- Lemon Juice
- Vanilla Extract
- Molasses
- Coconut oil
- Chopped Pecans
How to Make Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Cinnamon Pecan Swirl
Making this gingerbread cake is easier than you might think. First, prepare the cake batter. Mix the dry ingredients, then the wet, and stir the dry mixture into the wet to fully combine.
Before pouring into the cake pan, prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture and chop the pecans. Make sure you spray your cake pan with cooking spray too! Since paleo cakes tend to be stickier, it’s essential to use a good nonstick pan AND spray it with an avocado oil or coconut oil spray.
Pour just half the batter into the prepared cake pan, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar and pecans over the top. Cover it with the remaining batter and use a spatula to smooth it out.
Bake at 350° F for about 35 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan, on a wire rack, for about 20 minutes.
At this point, the cake should release easily from the pan. I like to very carefully turn it over onto the wire rack, then very slowly lift the pan off of the cake. It should continue to cool there to almost room temperature while you prepare the glaze.
Whisk together the glaze ingredients, then drizzle generously all over the cake. You can serve this cake at room temperature or just slightly warm.
How to Make Paleo Powdered Sugar
For great paleo-friendly icings, making paleo powdered sugar is a must! I like to use maple sugar because I prefer the flavor AND it’s lighter in color than coconut sugar. That said, you can also make great powdered sugar with coconut sugar.
All you need is a high speed blender or food processor. Simply place the sugar in the blender and blend until the sugar reaches a powdery consistency. Then, you can use it for icing in place of store bought powdered sugar. I use it to make all my glazes and icings and you’d never know they’re refined sugar free.!

Cinnamon Pecan Swirl:
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar or maple sugar

- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
Glaze:
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil melted but cooled to almost room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered maple sugar coconut sugar is fine too if that's what you have on hand - **see note for instructions on making the powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tsp almond milk or other non-dairy milk
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350° F and spray a non-stick 9” bundt pan with avocado oil cooking spray (or preferred spray)
-
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, coconut sugar or maple sugar, molasses, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until a smooth batter forms. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
-
Transfer 1/2 of the batter to the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle with all the cinnamon sugar, followed by the chopped pecans. Cover with the remaining batter, smoothing the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 32-37 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan, placed on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
-
After partially cooling, carefully release the cake from the bundt pan by flipping it slowly onto the wire rack, and lifting the pan off the cake.
-
Allow the cake to continue cooling on the wire rack until nearly room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
-
Glaze:
-
Stir together the powdered maple sugar**, coconut oil, vanilla and cinnamon, then add the milk slowly until you get a smooth consistency that can be drizzled on the cake. You may need to add a bit less milk, 2-3 tsp.
-
Generously drizzle the glaze all over the cooled cake. The glaze will harden as it cools. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Could we use coconut flour and coconut milk as substitutes for the almond ingredients? If so, what measurements would you use? I don’t do so well with nut products. Thank you!
Sounds and looks delicious! Sadly, I do not have a bundt pan. Could I use a loaf pan instead? Any tips/suggestions for trying it? I’m thinking I’ll need to halve the recipe at the very least.
