Spice Cake

Spice Cake

Hello, Thanks for joining me!! Am I the only person crazy about this kind of cake? Why don’t we eat Spice cake anymore? I think we are all used to the greasy insipid bakes that have a dash of cinnamon masquerading as a spice cake. This cake is moist and has a fine crumb. It has a rich flavor that only an array of spices can bring. Burnt butter icing is something my grandmother made. It’s not really burnt, but the milk solids are browned just enough to bring a toffee taste to the icing. This is the cake of my childhood, a Norman Rockwell painting on a plate. Family, joy, and food! Make this and you will have to keep people from peeling the icing right off the cake! Yes, it’s that addictive. 

I've included a link to the recipe below, it was too big to include in the show notes. Please let me know if you have any questions and how you liked the cake.  Also, and FYI...some of the mixing times in the audio were shortened for editing reasons. Thanks so much for listening~Carolyn
