Spice Cake with Just the Right Amount of Spice

[@dianejohanson98]

I made this cake for my husband. He dearly loves spice cake and has been begging me to make a spice cake for a long time. He loved your recipe. I didn’t have Allspice so I made some out of 3 spices. I even made the cram cheese frosting. The cake was very flavorful, especially the next day after the spices had a chance to come together and it was so moist too. Thank you for the recipe.

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it so much! :)

Sam, this cake recipe is phenomenal! I followed your spice cake recipe and brown butter cream cheese frosting recipe for the cake I was bringing to a holiday dinner. I baked two layers but kept them separate to leave one cake at home and take one to the party. The cake at the party was devoured within minutes! Every person I brought a slice to for a sample was raving about it. This cake is moist, soft, fluffy, and flavorful. Just the right amount of spice, and the brown butter cream cheese frosting was perfectly complimentary. The crumb was tighter than I’m used to for cake but the texture when you take a bite is perfect. That reverse creaming method really is effective. The cake was so popular with friends and family that I’ve been asked to make it again. So that’s what I shall be doing, baking the same cake two weeks later because it’s just that damn good. Thank you for the video! ☺️

It's honestly wild that you aren't a bigger deal on KZbin. Your recipes are so perfect.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. 😊😊😊

[@danniemcdonald4903]

I can almost smell those spices! That looks so good. I'll have to put it on my list! Thanks for sharing.

Yo won't regret making this one! :)

My grandson (12 yrs) and I made this for hubby's Bday. WOW it was such a success It was 2 layers. Middle was pastry cream Even tho I had no Ginger to add to the spice mix, the family LOVED IT!!! Thank you for another wonderful recipe

[@penneyburgess5431]

The best spice cake I ever ate had vanilla custard in between the layers and cream cheese frosting. This recipe just might get the job done. Thank you!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yum, that sounds delicious! I hope you love my recipe too ❤️

[@tyquanartis6937]

I kind of like that cake she made looks awesome.

[@joycewaugh9106]

Hello. I enjoy listening to you. You are not all fluff. I made this cake today. I didn't have sour cream so I substituted with butter milk. The cake is moist and the spices are spot on. Yesterday I made your recipe for broccoli cheddar soup, also very delicious. Keep up the great work and entertainment !!-

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much and I’m glad the buttermilk substitute worked out. I appreciate the feedback. 😊

[@peggajordan5635]

Made my cake in a 13×9 pan and it looks marvelous! After it cools thinking of your wonderful frosting with some of the spices; not to much just a bit.

[@JoelGonzalez-ud7qo]

I've never felt the urge to make this type of cake until this video. Thanks. Also, if YOU (with so much expertise) get anxiety cutting the first slice, we mere mortals have no hope. LOL.

Will definitely try this! Thanks for your expertise and professionalism! Always great recipes.

Quick question: can I just bake this in a 9 x 13 pan instead without altering recipe? Thanks.

[@Mellie726]

I know your spice cake doesn't include raisins, (and believe me I am not a huge fan of raisins), but for years I have been trying to mimic a spice square recipe my mother use to buy from a company called Leo's Pastries distributed to stores here in Northeast New England. I have tried without success to even discover who even owned Leo's Pastries, but they were in a package of about 6-9 squares, of yummy dark spice cake with raisins, but they had chocolate frosting on them, topped with a (I'm going to say a white chocolate flower with pink petals and green leaves on top.) They were the best. I am going to try your spice cake recipe with a few raisins thrown in for good measure, and try maybe your chocolate frosting recipe, and I will take a chance with some sort of white chocolate flower. I love your recipes and they are so moist!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! I hope you love this cake and it lives up to your expectations. I think it will. ;)

[@bridgetteharris8386]

❤❤❤Good Morning, I ❤ your show !!! I have a question , Can I substitute Cinnamon Spice Extract for the vanilla extract in the cake part ; and would it be too strong along with the other ingredients??!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hmmm that sounds interesting. I have actually never used cinnamon extract so I'm not sure how it behaves. I'm not sure if it's really potent or not. It could be worth experimenting with. :)

I made your banana bread recipe yesterday and it so good it should be against the law, moist , sweet . My sister said take a piece and put a little pad of butter on it and heat around 20 seconds. It should be called the sinners banana bread, you will keep going back to it. Thank you ,rotting bananas never tasted so good. Spice cake is next.

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you

[@Zeropatience1]

Any chance you have recipes for spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, apple cider (without alcohol.. just really love a hot cup of apple cider when it's cold outside), French onion dip and any spice seasoning mixes. Sorry I'm asking for a lot, I've literally been writing down all the recipes I enjoy making around my house and have shared a lot of your videos but thought I'd finally ask for a few things I don't have recipes for... tried some others but they weren't good and so far everything I've made of yours is absolutely delicious! My entire family really love the ice oatmeal cookies... so good! Thank you, have a wonderful and blessed day. :-)

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can find recipes for most of these on my website. I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything ❤️

sam this is very good cake.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you 😋

[@toweramakalani4760]

Watched one of your videos where you said if the oven isn't big enough to accommodate,say 3 baking pans,then it's possible to leave one on the counter and bake after the other two. My question is,the one that's left,does it bake properly? Doesn't it have any problems rising? Plz help

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have never had a problem with it rising. It doesn't end up sitting that long. If you were to leave it there for a few hours you may run into an issue. The only difference is that it may need a minute or two less in the oven since it's only one cake. :)

Hello, can you substitute the milk for applesauce?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I'm not sure how applesauce for the milk would work. I haven't tried it personally.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

If I can't get dark brown sugar, can I use all light brown sugar, rather than dark brown sugar and granulated sugar? It's a question of availability.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Light brown sugar will work as a substitute for the dark brown sugar. :)

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Would yogurt be acceptable instead of sour cream,? It's a question of availability

[@SugarSpunRun]

Greek yogurt should work here. :)

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you

[@claudebeaudry4111]

Hi Sam, I'd like to try this recipe, but I must say, I've recently made a few fall recipes and they all involved cream cheese frosting. I'm getting a little tired of it; is there another frosting you'd recommend for this cake?

[@cowboyboom]

just remove the cream cheese from the recipe, and add less sugar

[@SugarSpunRun]

My Brown butter frosting or even my whipped cream frosting would be other great choices (and I’ve been wanting to try my new caramel frosting on it, too!). White chocolate frosting might even work, too! I’ll leave some links below. sugarspunrun.com/brown-butter-frosting/ sugarspunrun.com/stabilized-whipped-cream-frosting/ sugarspunrun.com/caramel-frosting-recipe/ sugarspunrun.com/white-chocolate-buttercream/

Dear Sam, can this recipe be used to make cupcakes? I don't want to buy molasses for just one thing.

[@HaliaStone]

Found a comment asking about cupcakes further up. Everything is the exact same as the video recipe, just bake them for 17-18 minutes

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

@@HaliaStone Thanks. I'm thinking about using this batter to make small fruitcakes for my neighbors.

[@HaliaStone]

@@mariaconsuelothomen I tried this as cupcakes and didn’t see the comment about baking for less time and they exploded, haha. Still tasted great though.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

@@HaliaStone You can usually use any cake batter to make cupcakes, just give them less time than a regular cake. Which is why I laugh when I see "cupcake mix" sold as a different article.

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

@@HaliaStone Sam gives a recipe for "spice cupcakes". I haven't checked, but I think the proportions for the spice cake and the spice cupcakes are the same; also, the ingredients.
