BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter. With the mixer running, add the oil in a steady stream. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt into a medium-size mixing bowl. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk to the batter, mixing well. With the electric mixer, in another large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the cake batter. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake until the center springs back when touched, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. After the cakes have cooled, invert them onto sheets of parchment paper. Slice each cake in half and set aside.
KIM'S BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE
This spice cake was inspired by a recipe from one of my mom's old cookbooks. It was my great-grandpa's favorite cake, and I used to make it for him all the time. It's a simple cake that's not too sweet, and has a rather strong spice flavor. Err on the side of underbaking the cake rather than overbaking, or it'll be dry.

AUNT AVA'S BUTTERMILK SPICE CAKE
Aunt Ava is a next door neighbor who became family to me when I moved into her neighborhood. I had no family nearby to give me a hand when I went through 11 years of illness and then the birth of twins, my third and fourth daughters. She adopted me and treated me like I was family and shared all her special recipes with me. She passed on about 10 years ago but I miss her so much. She'll always hold a special place in my heart and her recipes will continue to nourish my body and soul for years to come. Bon appetit--

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350degrees*.
- Grease and flour a 9 x 13 pan or 2 8in. round cake pans.
- Measure all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Blend for 30 seconds on low speed. Scrape sides of bowl down. Blend on high speed for 60 seconds, scraping bowl occassionally.
- Pour into prepared pans. Smack pans gently on counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
- Bake 9 x 13 for 45 minutes; 8 inch rounds for 30-40 minutes or until wooden toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Frost cake with your favorite frosting**.
- Notes: *Many home ovens have widely varying oven temperatures. Buying an oven thermometer at your local discount store will cost you about $3 and guarantee you will have great success in your cake & other baking endeavors. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place the thermometer in the back of oven. After 5 minutes,check the thermometer and move it to the left side then the right side and then the front of your oven. Adjust your oven settings accordingly to how far off 350 degrees the temps are in your oven. Many of you will be surprised at just how far off a brand new oven can be. $3 is a small price to pay for successful baking. **When baking this cake in 8 inch rounds, I spread a thin layer of my cream cheese frosting on top of the first layer and then slice a couple of bananas on top of the frosting and then place the second layer on top and finish frosting the cake with the rest of the cream cheese frosting. When I bake it in x 13 pan, I like to toast coconut on a cookie sheet and after frosting the cooled cake with either my cream cheese frosting or my butter pecan frosting, I sprinkle the toasted coconut on top of the frosted cake. Either variation pleases my family and friends. Using your imagination you can customize this into your own family favorite.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE WITH PENUCHE FROSTING
My aunt, who was born in the 1920s, passed this recipe down to me. She made the cake from scratch from start to finish because she didn't have modern amenities to help her in the kitchen. The penuche frosting goes with the cake nicely. -Beth Vorst, Columbus Grove, Ohio

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prep all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cake will taste. Use fresh butter, buttermilk, and eggs, and choose high-quality spices.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make your cake light and airy.
- Gradually add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Mix in the dry ingredients: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The baking time will vary depending on the size of your pan, so keep an eye on the cake and adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This buttermilk spice cake with penuche frosting is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy.
