Spice Cake is not your ordinary sweet dessert! It is dense, moist, and full of autumn and winter flavors that both adults and kids will love.
Spice Cake reminds me of the taste of gingerbread with the texture of a banana cake. Like gingerbread, it has a rich flavor profile brought by cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
All of these contribute to a unique pastry that is also moist and dense! Also, pecans and raisins are added for crunch and chewiness.
Bake with Me - Buttermilk Spice Cake (and a little D & D Talk!)
This is my version of the Buttermilk Spice Cake from A Splash of Vanilla.
BTW, the cake was a hit at game night! The next few days it did dry out a bit, so I'd suggest keeping leftovers in an airtight container.

Spice Cake with White Cake Mix
Spice cake with white cake mix and cream cheese frosting is easy and delicious. By adding spices to a regular box mix, you can create one of the best fall and Thanksgiving dessert recipes.
This recipe started as a cookie recipe. About two years ago, I divided a box of white cake mix into four equal parts and then added mix-ins in order to create different flavors. I had already made lemon, chocolate, and red velvet, and then the idea came to me to make spice cake cookies. I rummaged through my spice cabinet to see what I had on hand, and even though I did not allspice or cloves, I did have cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Not really sure what to expect, I sprinkled in what I thought was probably about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of each spice, curious as to how the cookies would turn out. I ended up really liking them, especially with a simple sugar glaze. So, when the thought came to me this fall to do an easy spice cake recipe video, I thought back to my cookies: instead of doing a traditional spice cake with four or five spices and brown sugar, I decided to use the spice cake cookie recipe that I had invented for Christmas.
Like I just said, most traditional spice cake recipes call for a lot of spices, usually cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, and cloves, along with brown sugar for the extra bit of flavor from the molasses. Although I am sure the classic recipe is great, sometimes I think that combining fewer flavors is better because then you can focus your attention on a few tastes. Since just a few flavors do not have to compete for your palate's attention, you can enjoy them to the fullest extent.????????????

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
SPICE CAKE
00:28 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and grease and flour a 9x13 baking dish (or spray with baking spray). Set aside.
00:33 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars (granulated and brown), baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg).
01:40 Add canola oil and melted butter and stir well. The batter will be pretty thick at this point, that is OK, but using an electric or stand mixer will make it easier to combine everything.
02:16 Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
02:46 Add vanilla extract and buttermilk and stir until ingredients are well-combined.
03:28 Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake on 350F (175C) for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
04:13 Allow to cool completely before topping with cream cheese frosting.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
04:32 Combine cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined. Stir in salt and vanilla extract.
04:53 Gradually, with mixer on low-speed, stir in powdered sugar until completely combined.
Spread evenly over cooled spice cake.

Spiced Apple Cake
RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 40 min (includes cooling time)
Active: 25 min
Yield: 10 servings
Ingredients
Apples:
Unsalted butter, for buttering the baking pan
6 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake:
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
Mix together the apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
For the cake: Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and buttermilk. Beat on low speed until a few streaks remain, then fold together with a rubber spatula until fully combined. (Do not overmix.)
Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half of the apple mixture. Spread the batter over the top of the apples. Top the batter with the remaining apples, making decorative rows across the cake. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
Cook’s Note
For a twist on a classic topping, beat 2 tablespoons store-bought salted caramel with 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Serve dolloped on top.
