What does spice cake taste like? Spice cake is traditionally made with comforting spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. It is similar to a gingerbread flavor and is very common around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. The flavor is deeper, earthier and spicier than traditional white or chocolate cakes. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup softened butter (we use salted) 3/4 cup light brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 2 large eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon nutmeg ½ teaspoon ground cloves 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2/3 cup buttermilk Caramel buttercream: 1/2 cup salted butter 2-3 cups powdered sugar (may need more if you want it stiffer, but add the extra ¼ cup at a time while mixing) ⅓-½ cup caramel syrup (I use Hershey’s or Smuckers ice cream topping) Instructions Stir together flour, baking soda and salt, then set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugars, and eggs until well combined. Add in the vanilla, nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Add the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix just until smooth. Scoop batter into into a cupcake tin filled with liners. Fill NO HIGHER than 1/2 full! This will make about 18 cupcakes. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely. To make buttercream, beat butter, powdered sugar, and caramel syrup until smooth and fluffy. Place Wilton Tip 2D or 1M inside a disposable piping bag. Scoop the batter into the bag. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up the frosting. Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in swirls. Store the cupcakes in an airtight container. If it is very warm in the room, refrigerate the cupcakes because the frosting will melt quickly. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to push "LIKE," leave a COMMENT below, and SUBSCRIBE!
