Provided by Sally

Categories     Cake

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
1 and 3/4 cup (350g) packed dark brown sugar
1 cup (180g) unsweetened applesauce
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup shredded apple (or shredded carrot/zucchini)
optional: 1 Tablespoon molasses
8 ounces (224g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3 cups (360g) confectioners' sugar, plus an extra 1/4 cup if needed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan. I always use this glass pan.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk the oil, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and molasses (if using) together in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Fold in the shredded apple until combined.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top of the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up.
  • In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add 3 confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes. If you want the frosting a little thicker, add the extra 1/4 cup of confectioners sugar (I add it). Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. This helps sets the frosting and makes cutting easier.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

NAMELESS SPICE CAKE

This recipe came from my grandmother. It has been the traditional "Birthday" cake in my family since I can remember. The recipe was a contest to name a spice cake in a magazine. This is a very easy and flavorfull spice cake. I have frosted it with cream cheese frosting or baked it in a bundt pan and served it with whipped cream.

Provided by Ben S.

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Spice Cake Recipes

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups bleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, softened until easily spreadable
2 cups dark brown sugar

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground spices will give your cake a more intense flavor. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This will help to create a light and fluffy cake. Make sure to cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, or until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  • Gradually Add the Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake at the Correct Temperature: The temperature of the oven will vary depending on the recipe. Make sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

The nameless spice cake is a delicious and versatile cake that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays. With its moist texture, rich flavor, and beautiful appearance, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special cake to make, give the nameless spice cake a try.
