Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly oil and flour a standard bundt pan or two 6 mold giant muffin tins (to make individual cakes).
Prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring sauce to a boil, uncovered. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the dried apricots are soft, about 25 minutes. Remove cover and continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the cake by whisking together the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, allspice, baking powder and sea salt. Mix in the dissolved coffee, oil, rice syrup, maple syrup and vanilla. While mixing, slowly stir in the soy milk, to create a smooth, spoonable batter. Fold in the fresh ginger and walnut pieces, incorporating them through the batter.
Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan and bake until the top springs back to the touch, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before loosening the cake from the pan sides with a butter knife and inverting it onto a plate to cool completely.
To serve, simply place a wedge of cake on an individual dessert plate and spoon sauce over the top.
