Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a standard bundt pan or loaf pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving.
