Spice Cake is the perfect cake for the fall season! This cake is made with four spices and drizzled with delicious cream cheese frosting!
So you typically see Spice cake made in a rectangular pan, but we like to do things different over here so we made this cake in a bundt pan. The icing/frosting was drizzled over the cake because it was a pretty way to decorate it right, but if you're an icing person you may want to add extra icing.
The icing recipe yields more than what is pictured so if you want to go crazy with the icing you can or you may be a person like myself...I added extra when I cut a slice of the cake to eat.
Ingredients needed to make the cake:
For the Pound Cake:
- All-purpose flour
- Dark brown sugar
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs (large- room temperature)
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Cinnamon
- Allspice
- Nutmeg
- Ground cloves
- Vanilla
- Sour cream
- Vegetable oil
- Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
For the Frosting:
- Unsalted Butter
- Vanilla
- Salt
- Cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
Steps to make the cake:
To make the cake:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, add the flour and spices whisking together until combined. In another large bowl, add the butter, oil and sugars and blend together using a mixer or whisk.
Add the vanilla, eggs, and sour cream mixing together until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them together.
Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray. Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing the cake from the pan. Once the cake is cooled completely apply the icing as desired.
To make the icing:
Add the cream cheese and butter into a bowl and mix until combined using a hand or stand mixer. While mixing, add the vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
Add the powdered sugar ½ c to 1 c at a time mixing until combined. Add the frosting to the cake as desired. The icing was added to the cake using a piping bag.
Great pairings with this cake are apple cider, tea, and coffee to name a few. I'm a tea person myself! Grab your favorite drink, cut a large slice of this cake, and enjoy!
