Instructions:
-
Cream sugar and butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
-
-
Add eggs, beat for 1 minute: Add the eggs to the creamed mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat the mixture for an additional minute until well combined.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
-
Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Beat for 1 minute: Once all the ingredients are incorporated, beat the batter for an additional minute to ensure everything is well blended.
-
Pour into greased and floured 9×13 pan: Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and savor the warm, spiced goodness of this Old Fashioned Spice Cake!
Tips:
- For added richness, consider adding a simple cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar to the cooled cake.
- You can customize the spices according to your preference. Add more cinnamon for a stronger flavor or adjust the amount of cloves and nutmeg to suit your taste.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
Enjoy the nostalgia-inducing flavors of this Old Fashioned Spice Cake, perfect for gatherings, celebrations, or simply indulging in a sweet treat at home!
