Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and cardamom. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and sour cream. Beat until just combined.

Stir in the raisins, nuts, and cranberries, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
