Charlotte, this was excellent! I made it this evening for everyone here, and they've all said a special "Thank U" to you for this wonderful cake. The cinnamon n cloves add a special touch to this recipe. I hope you get lots more good reviews on this! Just a tip for those who dont know how to make sour milk - this is what I did today when I made this cake. I took 1 tbsp. less to 1 cup of milk in a bowl. Then, I added 1 tbsp. of lemon juice to it. Kept it aside for 5 minutes after stirring it once, and then used it in the recipe when it was called for in the same.

This is the lightest cake I've ever made from scratch. I used pancake syrup instead of real maple syrup, but the cake is still delicious. The spices are perfect. I'll definitely make this one again! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful cake! I found the recipe doing a search for sour milk because I had a bit that had just turned and my husband didn't believe you could make cake with it. This is so light and delicious. I used chopped dates because I was out of raisins. Will definitely be making this again, sour milk on hand or not!

Baked up light and fluffy! Had to use apricot syrup since I didn't have any maple syrup, came out beautifully.
