Homemade Spice Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This recipe calls for 8 simple ingredients. You will need: all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, butter, and granulated sugar. To make the cake extra special, you can also add a teaspoon of ground cloves or allspice, and some raisins or chopped nuts. For the frosting, you will need cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until blended. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, stirring until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 4 tablespoons of softened butter, and 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
