Another classic cake recipe from Inez. It is easy to make and just yummy to eat. I made this cake on real butter and not margarine. It is so worth it. The balance of spice ingredients is perfect. As I ate this cake, it kept minding me of cinnamon roll. I iced this cake with Inez's Yummy Caramel Frosting # 21896. MMMM heaven!! -
This cake is very yummy! I made it twice to try to perfect for my tastes. I like the spices doubled. I think it is a tiny bit dry the first day (especially for all the butter) but if you cover it and refridgerate over night it really moistens up to perfection. The spices become richer as well. Thanks! -
12/17/17 Review by Delrise This recipe gave spice cake a new meaning! It was quick and easy! But most important it was delicious and moist! I modified it by adding chopped raisin, cherries, apples, pineapples and a little brandy extract. It made the for conversation that evening! Furthermore , I have shared this recipe since.

My cake needed to bake longer than the 40 minutes to get done in the middle. I thought the cake needed more spices. Next time, I will follow advice of other reviewers and use 1.5 times the spices. Cake was moist.

This was a beautiful cake! Very moist, rich in flavor, and my husband actually would not let me make frosting for it because he loved it so much as it was :) Only thing I had to change was using milk and vinegar instead of buttermilk (didn't have any on hand and couldn't run out to get some). I used apple cider vinegar, to see if it would add any extra flavor, and I think it did a little bit. Thank you for a great spice cake recipe!!! Updating Oct 23--forgot to say I cooked in two loaf pans so I could give one away. Baked about an hour, covering after half way through, and then frosted one with Penuche Frosting....the brown sugar flavor went great with the cake!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
