Spice Cake With Maple Frosting Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious spicy cake with maple frosting is a great addition to your brunch menu. All you need is 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of light brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 cup of buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. For the maple frosting, you need 1/2 cup of softened butter, 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar, 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Set aside. Using a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Add the applesauce, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until everything is just incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the frosting, beat the butter and confectioner’s sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the maple syrup and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake and enjoy!
