I may try this cake in place of English Christmas pudding. My children don’t really like Christmas pudding, but think they would like this. I think I may just even make it in BUNDT pan and serve it with English custard or Rum sauce. Looks yummy! Thanks for great recipe and giving clear instructions. Merry Christmas.❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!!! Thank you, Beth, this is a toss-up, either the Chocolate Forest or this one, you are making it awfully hard to choose. But since I purchased the Bundt pan for the Chocolate Forest, this one will have to wait till New Year's dinner. Wishing you, Philippe, and the girls a VERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄 and a JOYFUL and HEALTHY NEW YEAR...here's to 2024.🎉🥳🥳

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Same to you, Sandy! You can’t go wrong with either cake ha ha ha! I couldn’t decide either so I think I’m making both since we’re having about 10 people they’re both so yummy and festive! A very happy holidays to you and your family too!! ❄️🎉💕🎄🍾

Oh man that looks delicious! And I love the beautiful natural snowy look. Only booger is now I would need to convert to gluten free flour lol

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

You can do it! Just use a good one to ratio gluten-free flour. My favorite brands are cup4 cup, or Bob’s. Redmill has a good one-to-one ratio gluten-free flour, too!

[@debrafoldoe5727]

Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love a great spice cake! I'm wondering what you think about substituting applesauce for the oil?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Sure you could try that. I know a lot of people do this with cakes, but I can't say I've actually tried it with this recipe, but maybe you could do 1/2 and 1/2? Half oil with 1/2 apple sauce? Just to retain some of the great texture the cake has :) Keep me posted if you try it because now I'm curious what it would taste like ha!

[@heikeferdinandt7258]

❤❤❤

[@katarzynaandrzejczak6562]

👍👍😊😊👌👌

[@SnappyR]

Love your channel Beth - is there any way to reduce the amount of oil in this recipe down to 1/3 cup? I make pumpkin bread with only 1/4 cup and it turns out delicious - I'm just not sure if I would need to change anything else in the recipe if I do this? Thanks for sharing♥

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Well yes you would probably need to adjust a few things. Pumpkin has a lot of moisture in it and many people use it to reduce or omit the oil. But for this cake to retain its moisture I would only reduce it to 1/2 cup and then use 1/2 cup of water in its place. Hope that helps and so glad you enjoy the channel! :)

Beth, I have all the ingredients out coming to room temp. Making this cake to bring to my in-laws’ for Christmas. 🙂 I can’t wait to see how this comes out! Question: that mixing bowl you use with the spout to pour out batter, is that from Amazon or is that something you already had? I love it! I’ll let you know how my cake comes out…❤️

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh it’s something I already had. I actually found it at IKEA years ago but you could also invest in one of those pancake batter bowls for such a job. I think when dealing with batter to have a spout just makes it so easy! I hope you enjoy it and it’s a big hit. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@cpolanco18]

Beth, this cake was AMAZING!!!! My fam not only ate it for dessert on Christmas, but everyone took a piece home, too. I escaped with a piece that my hubby & son just split. 😄 I didn’t pipe the cream cheese frosting on, but just spread it. The cake was so moist, flavorful & you could really taste the molasses and spices. I think this will be my yearly Christmas cake. I pray you and your family enjoyed the holiday and that you have a beautiful, peaceful New Year! ❤ PS - I will be on the waiting list for that cook book to drop! So happy for u!!! 🙌🏼

[@valjohns5432]

I wonder if instead of frosting, we could use whipped cream?

[@deborahwilliams-rowley4281]

Good Morning Beth this cake looks delicious, I've got a question can you use self rising flour instead AP. Hope you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Well I think you might have better results with the AP flour, the baking soda, and the salt called for in the recipe. Self-rising flour already has the salt added along with baking powder. But because we added the Buttermilk, it needs the amount of baking soda called for to create the tiny air bubbles that help the cake rise and create that soft fluffy texture that creates such a wonderfully tender cake. But if it's all you have no need to go out and buy another sack of flour if you don't need it. It will still be yummy but may not have exactly the same texture. Hope that helps!

[@rosemariaprovencher6940]

Hi Beth, forgot to ask you if you have a link for the round frosting tip or size, number.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

My tip unfortunately doesn't have a number on it but I just measured it and it's measuring 3/4" in diameter :) Hope that helps!

[@rosemariaprovencher6940]

@@EntertainingWithBeth I bought one today it a 1A from Wilton. They didn’t have a measurement on it. Just 1A embossed on it. I think it will work. Thank you you’re the best!

[@KathleenWescott]

Can this be cake be frozen(un-frosted). I have limited time before Christmas and try to prep ahead.Thanks!

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Yes, absolutely! You could make the cake layers ahead of time. All to cool completely. Then wrap the layers well in plastic wrap and then aluminium foil. Freeze and then place the whole thing in the fridge overnight to defrost. Then frost it the day before serving and place it in the fridge overnight. I hope you enjoy it!

[@kellywalton4195]

Can you use a different type of oil? For example a extra light olive oil?

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

I’m not sure about olive oil that might have too much flavor in it and be too heavy. But you definitely could use melted, coconut oil, corn, oil, or canola oil.

[@pgsawchuk]

Beth...no make ahead Christmas menu in your downloads.

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

So sorry here it is! Let me know if you have any trouble! entertainingwithbeth.ck.page/8bcce7364c

[@MeganLink-m2l]

Can you use a 13x9 pan for this?

[@lilykay6446]

Where do you get whipped cream cheese? I’ve seen whipped cream cheese icing (I’m guessing the sugar already in it) but not just whipped cream cheese. Please help

[@EntertainingWithBeth]

Oh sure if you are based in the U.S.A it's sold right next to the regular cream cheese. Otherwise, just buy the brick cream cheese and add 1-3 tablespoons (15ml-45ml) of heavy cream to the frosting to loosen it up. That would be better than anything pre-made and sold as "Whipped Cream Cheese Icing" since you'll be able to control the sugar and spice with the homemade :) . Hope that helps! Enjoy!
