Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or a similar-sized cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This will be your spice swirl mixture.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the spice swirl mixture evenly over the batter.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the spice swirl layer, smoothing the top with a spatula. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your Spice Swirl Cake!
