1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream
2 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 1/2 tablespoons whole milk, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 to 3 tablespoons fresh juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with oil. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; brush parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg and yolk, sour cream, oil, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons milk until combined. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir until smooth (batter will be thick). Transfer to prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula.

(If glaze is too thick, add up to remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice.)
  • Pour over top of cake, spreading to edges with offset spatula. Allow to set before slicing, about 30 minutes. Cake can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days; return to room temperature before serving.

Another half container of milk gone bad? Here's a delicious option for the thrifty minded. The cake is warm comforting and nicely spiced.

KIM'S BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE



Kim's Buttermilk Spice Cake image

This spice cake was inspired by a recipe from one of my mom's old cookbooks. It was my great-grandpa's favorite cake, and I used to make it for him all the time. It's a simple cake that's not too sweet, and has a rather strong spice flavor. Err on the side of underbaking the cake rather than overbaking, or it'll be dry.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful and delicious cake. Use real butter, not margarine, and use fresh eggs and milk.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients: This will help to ensure that the batter is well-mixed and free of lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Sour milk spice cake is a classic recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, tender crumb and flavorful spices, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a family gathering or a special treat to share with friends, sour milk spice cake is sure to be a hit.
