Moist and Tender Spice Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist and Tender Spice Cake.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and place the oven rack right in the middle for even baking.

2. Step 2

   Grab a 9x13-inch metal or disposable foil pan and give it a good greasing followed by a light dusting of flour to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.

3. Step 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and salt until everything is well blended and aromatic.

4. Step 4

   In a separate measuring cup, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing them together until they’re nicely blended.

5. Step 5

   Now, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter into the flour mixture on low speed until it takes on a crumbly texture.

6. Step 6

   Gradually pour in about one-third of the milk mixture, continuing to beat on low until it’s smooth.

7. Step 7

   Then, add the rest of the milk mixture in two parts, switching to medium speed until your batter is just smooth and inviting.

8. Step 8

   Next, fold in the brown sugar, mixing until it’s just incorporated—this should take about 30 seconds.

9. Step 9

   Pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is delicious.

10. Step 10

    Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for around 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your cake is ready.

11. Step 11

    Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for a few moments on a wire rack, soaking in the delightful aroma.

12. Step 12

    When it’s cool enough to handle, run a knife around the edges to gently loosen it, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate or cooling rack.

13. Step 13

    Allow it to cool completely before serving, and get ready to enjoy a slice of homemade goodness that’s sure to impress!.
