I've been watching cooking programs since I was in my teens, and to give you an idea of how long ago that was, the two that I watched were Galloping Gourmet, and Julia Child. I watched, bought the cookbooks but your recipes are the first that I've made consistently. Yesterday it was Apple Crisp. Thank you for bringing new life to this 70+ woman..

[@MariVictorius]

I can BARELY remember it, but I used to watch the Galloping Gourmet too. I was 4 or 5. 😅

[@dianaash8077]

I have not had ANY of his recipes fail! He's my go-to!

[@sallysparrow5774]

Kia Ora from New Zealand. Integrity, honesty and kindness just radiate from John, and I think that comes through in your Art of Cooking. Beautiful person, beautiful food and such a beautiful family. Thank you for what you do.

[@spreest9537]

Julia Child is wonderful! I'm so glad you find such joy in cooking and baking. Bless your heart!

[@donnavorce8856]

Linda - lol. Same here! Would get home from school, flip on Child's show and try to cook dinner for mom. Sometimes it actually worked. Cheers from another cook!

[@debkincaid2891]

Made this: hubby said, "This is GOOD, this is REALLY GOOD... this is ADDICTIVE!" I'm sure this will be a family favorite. Thank you!

[@av-fi7ro]

I made this recipe and it was AMAZING!!! Only 1 modification which I strongly suggest: CUT THE CUPS OF POWDERED SUGAR BY 50%. I have a sweet tooth, and 3 cups was more than enough sugar, in fact when i make this again I am going to taste test at 2.5 cups. Other than that- perfect recipe and straight forward for a novice like me.

[@glendamckay4034]

I am a sixty plus woman and due to two cardiac arrests I suffered hypoxic brain injuries that caused me some difficulties with doing one of my favourite things cooking. Your videos and recipes have allowed me to enjoy this again. It is you delightful presentation that makes one feel that I could make that. I have also introduced my daughter to your channel.

[@karenhargis9824]

I. Love this guy. He sounds like he’s a gentle and pleasant person

[@lindahart6049]

I baked this and took to a dinner party last night. Big hit with everyone! I did add cardamom and allspice along with the other spices, and it was delicious!

[@lindacope7344]

I love fall recipes. Christmas time gets so busy, but fall is a more relaxing time, recipes like this bring such cozy thoughts to mind.

[@mayonnaiseeee]

Drooling over here, looks amazing. Can't go wrong with that combo of spices and cream cheese frosting, it's also why carrot cake is among my favorites.

[@PreppyKitchen]

Exactly!! Thank you!

[@ninja1man4u]

John youve got me excited for the holidays with all these delicious recipes

[@PreppyKitchen]

Yay! Happy baking!✨💖

[@sarahcarrizales9759]

I used to make the spice cake from the box when I was younger and remember liking it. I can only imagine how good this homemade cake tastes. I want to make this. I love anything with cinnamon and love all these spices in this. I am glad you clarified the use of oil in this recipe, I feel like I never want the make a cake without butter due to flavor but I once refrigerated a pound cake and it turned so hard. Lol. It still tasted good but everyone else in the house kept complaining about it being hard.

[@merleritchi6334]

Just made this today. Delicious! The family was very impressed. Thanks for this one!

[@alishamariel121]

Yes! I was searching for a recipe I could add Bourbon to. Happy you mentioned it. I’ll be making this for Turkey Day!

[@chrisshepard6137]

My grandmother made a spice cake every Christmas, she’d decorate it brandy cherries. I think I am bring this back this year, thank you for the inspiration!

[@Margo5050]

💖🤗 How can a guy I don’t even know making a cake on KZbin make my day happier and betsimpsier (better simpler easier)? You are magical 😊. So pleasant. You are a 💎. I love 💕 your Santa 🎅 apron.

[@Simsane]

I have made this several times now and absolutely love this cake! I usually make the applesauce myself but this time I had some organic pears going soft so I made pear sauce instead. Oh and I cook it in a 9x13 pan instead and I don't frost it, I just sprinkle powdered sugar over it after it has completely cooled. It's so moist and flavorful that it doesn't need frosting. Of course, I understand that's a matter of personal taste.☺️

[@phoenix2.020]

This spice cake looks delicious John. I love these holiday desserts. So good! 😋 🍰

[@oliviaweidinger1793]

As a Hungarian, I love your Herend dishes and platters. Thanks for the recipe!

[@monicahernandez3240]

I love, love spice cake. Looks so yummy!!

[@janetjo357]

This is the best cake I have ever made. I even gave these as presents for neighbors at Christmas. I make a lot of your recipes and have been happy with all of them. I love you and our family. Thanks for your videos.

[@JS-tr7oo]

I just discovered this video December 2023! I am making it for Christmas Eve with family coming over for desert! It smells sooooooooooooooo good! I am making it a day in advance and will keep it in the refrigerator. I also found your recipe for the perfect Turkey!

[@lilj22893]

So I made this for Thanksgiving, John was such a lifesaver for me by his advice of using the scale for measuring. This cake was so good, but the frosting is super sweet. Next time I bake this I'm going to do 4 cups of powder sugar compared to the 6 cups the recipes calls for. I'm hoping that does not change the consistency of the frosting too much. Anyway, great fall recipe for family and friends 😋

[@RockeyToes]

Amazing cake! To tie all the yummy spices together, my grandmother would add a few drops of anise extract and a pinch of salt to her frosting. It really made a delicious difference! Took up the flavor a few notches!

[@dulcineasintoboso6197]

Can’t believe it, John!, you haven’t used your cake strips here! 🤭 Greta recipe! I’ll make this cake for Christmas. Thanks for sharing. Here goes my “like” Regards from the Canaries, Spain.

[@nadc-mimine2431]

Toutes les recettes de John que j’essaie sont des réussites! J’apprends tellement bien avec lui. Tu es mon mentor. Tu es une personne formidable John!❤

[@kristinecollier8113]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You have come through again! I have been looking for a box mix Spice Cake, it was my dads favorite. I also make his favorite cookies around the holidays. This is soooooo much better!!!!!!!!

[@thuyvothanh9278]

Cannot wait to try this recipe 🥺 this looks perfect for Christmas ❤

[@texasstardust6010]

I loveeee Spice Cake, my Grandmother made it often, but she made a lovely vanilla Buttercream frosting, once in a while she made the cream cheese frosting. This looks delish.

[@marciphillips8682]

Iv been watching u for few months everything looks absolutely delicious that u make..and love your upbeat personality you are a joy to watch baking...

[@Lee-qf9dz]

I made cupcake versions of this and they were SO GOOD!!! Such a moist cake with so much delicious apple and spice flavor! I ate it with homemade apple butter too! Your recipe from the book, of course! The apple butter really makes a world of a difference!

[@Jiimboag]

Hi, could you tell me how many cupcakes come out with this recipe?☺️ Thanks in advance.

[@lauriemartin490]

Spice cake is my very favorite cake to make and I think my recipe is similar to yours! I even add applesauce. It's the perfect addition and makes the cake so tender and flavorful! I usually decorate the top of the cake by sprinkling chopped pecans around the edge.

[@Galaxy12Gaming]

Can't believe it's already the holidays!

[@davidferguson6507]

I thought I made the best spice cake with cream cheese frosting. I was wrong. THIS is the best I have ever tasted and all my neighbours agree. Thanks for sharing.

[@lolidgepop]

Your videos are such a wholesome bubble of peace from the stress of everyday life! I love your recipes and you've got a beautiful attitude, keep it up ❤❤

[@xjuggernaughtxx]

Spice Cake is my favorite! I can't wait to make this.

[@PreppyKitchen]

Hope you enjoy!!

[@dulcineasintoboso6197]

I made it! Delicious, aromatic, soft, … The smell in the kitchen was amazing! I made the cake to gift it. A success! My batter wasn’t as loose as yours, but I added a little more buttermilk. I made it the previous evening and assembled one hour before delivering. It was even better, I know ‘cause I tried the trimmings. 😉🤭 I’ll repeat the experience in a few days. Regards.

[@bonita1228]

Spice cake has always been my favorite. Have got to try this!

[@marybetholewinski9697]

"swoopy moment" I had to chuckle when you said that. It's such a joy to watch your cooking and baking videos cuz not only do I learn something but you always bring a smile to my face. I can't wait to go out and get some buttermilk today so I can make this for dessert tonight. Big question though my husband doesn't like cream cheese frosting so do you have a frosting you recommend that goes nicely with this cake?

[@Simsane]

Just popped it in the oven. It's the third time I have made this cake. I don't frost it at all, I just sprinkle powdered sugar over it as it's already extremely moist and delicious. Oh, but I don't make it in rounds, I bake it in a 9x13 pan.

[@DeniseShook]

How long do you bake it in a 9" x 13" pan?

[@Simsane]

@@DeniseShook I just baked it yesterday in my USA Pan 9x13. I baked it at 325°F and it took 50 minutes.

John, if you have hens that give you fresh eggs, may I suggest you add oyster shells, along with the gravel, to their feed? My grandfather used to say that it hardens the shells to keep them from being so "crumbly" when you crack them open.
