Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 ½ cups bleached all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, softened until easily spreadable
2 cups dark brown sugar

Steps:

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a metal or disposable foil 9-by-13-inch pan. Whisk dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl. Mix milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring cup.
Beat softened butter into dry ingredients, first on low, then medium, until mixture forms pebble-sized pieces. Add about 1/3 of the milk mixture and beat on low until smooth. Add remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until batter is just smooth. Add the sugar; beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into cake pan.
Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the pan perimeter and turn cake onto rack. Let cool.

CRAZY SPICE CAKE

Crazy Spice Cake image

One-dish spice cake ... so easy! For some reason, my mother-in-law showed me how to make it twice... :) Make it in the cake pan, serve it straight out of the pan, and eat with some vanilla ice cream. However, if you're unsure about how well it will mix (I've never had any problems with it), feel free to use a bowl or two. ;)

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results.
Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will affect the taste of your cake. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
