- How to Make a Spice Cake
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/spice-cake/
This moist and fluffy cake has ALL your favorite fall spices and a dash of molasses for an extra kick. Brown butter Swiss meringue buttercream on the inside and glossy white SMBC on the outside, all finished off with a beautiful fall tree complete with red, orange, and yellow leaves.
I wanted to make a special cake that screamed fall but didn't have pumpkin. My solution? A spice cake! Think of it as similar in flavor to a gingerbread cake; LOTS of spices and a dash of molasses. Really delicious and the recipe is super easy too.
About the Decorating
I went a bit overboard with the buttercreams and make a batch of Swiss meringue buttercream for the outside and used browned butter for a batch on the inside. That's TOTALLY optional. You could use just one batch of SMBC and really this cake is strong enough in flavor to tolerate an American buttercream.
I LOVE Swiss buttercream because it's so easy to decorate with. Tastes amazing of course, not too sweet, but it also gives you a perfectly almost glassy finish when you smooth it.
Piping the tree and leaves was easier than you would imagine. Sketch the tree on the chilled cake then pipe the branches and use a palette knife or small spatula to smooth things out a bit then just pipe leaves where ever you'd like using a small leaf tip (349). - Навчання та стиль

I love that you didn't edit out the mistake you made with the molasses. So down to earth and talented. ;-)
To anybody wondering, making brown butter is not the hardest thing in the world, but you have to be careful. You MUST watch it the whole time if you've never made it before/never succeeded making it before. A silver-/light-bottomed pan helps, but I was still able to make it in a dark-bottomed pan. The first time I made it, I failed. Second time, it was perfect. It really tastes and smells amazing. It brought my chocolate chip cookies to the next level. Extremely worth it. Highly recommend.
Did you cool it completely before making the frosting?
Second time I've made this cake in the last two weeks. It gets better every time. As for the browned butter buttercream. Delicious delicious delicious. Newly subscribed.
THANK YOU so much for putting your measurements in grams! This makes it much easier to follow! Loved this cake :)
I'm now a "preppy kitchen" junkie! Everyone laughs at me because i weigh my coookies and cake batter before i bake them, i now know i'm not alone..lol
My family is from NB Canada, and mollasses is a staple- delicious on freshly baked warm buttered bread... no, mollasses isn't yucky on it's own..
For some reason baking spray doesn't work to get the mollasses out of the measuring spoon, but try coating it in veggie oil- it works!
Keep sending us awesome videos... we appreciate you .. and stay safe 😊

The cake looks wonderful but what is just as wonderful is the joy and enthusiasm with which you share your recipes. Thank you!
My mother always made spice cake for my birthday and I would make it for my father-in-law as it was his favorite. Wish both were still with us to enjoy your spice cake which sounds amazing and is beautifully presented. I will be making this for Thanksgiving!

You are so artistic and talented! Like, litterally amazing! And I love how you didn’t use fondant. This makes your cakes look bery delicate and tasty 😋. Amazing job, as always! Can’t wait to see how far you go!
So glad to have discovered you, I love your style, your recipes and unique creativity! I recently tried your 'no spread cookie recipe' to help my young son raise money for 'Children In Need', the cookies turned out just as the title claims, and my son raised £60! This spicy cake and the Christmas tree cake both look yummy and pleasing to the eyes and I plan to make them soon, for Christmas season!

I am so happy I stumbled upon your videos. You are a-m-a-z-I-n-g!!
only john can make baking so fun and entertaining........so cute, an icon & a legend!!!!!!!
I'm officially obsessed with this channel. If I was ever going to be a professional baker, I'd want my style to be like yours. Elegant, beautiful, and fun without being tacky. I'm planning to make your strawberry flower cake for Mother's Day... and even though it's April, I might seriously try this autumn leaves cake just for fun!!! Autumn is my favorite season, and I love all the spiced flavors of that time as well.
Geez, now I'm binge watching all your videos. Can't pull myself away.
Omg!! Very beautiful cake and I love how easy u make it look.
Just Beautiful
Your desserts are perfect!!
Gorgeous I love it!!
Gorgeous. Love love love 😍😍😍
Love spice cake. Childhood memories 💕. Your videos are so fun and entertaining and even relaxing. Thank you for all your hard work!
I loveeeeee you!!!!! Love all your work!!!! The way you explain...
Great recipe!! Your home made foil magic strips have made such a difference in my cakes. You were RIGHT again when you said they shouldn't be underestimated. The cakes are nice and even on top and go together so much better when frosting. Thank you for that tip.
Have you actually made it,??? How it tasted???
@@daliayousif6376 If you've ever had gingerbread you'll have the idea. It's like a very mild gingerbread in that where this recipe calls for 2 tablespoons molasses, a traditional gingerbread has 1 cup of molasses in it. But the damp paper towels folded inside long strips of foil and wrapped tightly around the outside of the cake pan sides--- that's the epiphany. Try that if you haven't. Flat top cakes every time!
That is such a cute cake, love the simple fall tree design on it😊😋
Meringue is the best part of baking! Magical and amazing! Delicious looking cake!
Stunning!
It is such a pleasure to watch u baking.the cake looked absolutely beautiful and gorgeous.
Gracia por compartir sus conocimientos, y quedo bello el pastel
This cake combined with some of your mini pumpkin cakes would make a beautiful Thanksgiving dessert display. I may try this out for the weekend since we are having our annual harvest party and hayride. Thank you for sharing your passion for baking with us.
Molasses makes all the difference in flavor and deep brown color. The decoration it's so lovely.

This has seriously become my new favourite baking channel! :)
i love your recipes ❤❤
Me too! 💜💖💕💕💕
I made this after finding out about a potluck at work at the last minute. I had everything on hand but the molasses and cloves. I subbed pure maple syrup and increased the cinnamon and nutmeg by the amount of the cloves. My artwork was not as great as John's but my co-workers were still impressed!😄 This cake looks heavy but its very light and moist. The taste is a cross between an apple and pecan pies with that brown butter frosting! I now have 3 requests to make for Thanksgiving dinners!
I took your advice and purchased those cake pan strips. Ill try them out when I get a day off from both of my jobs.. I hope the cake turns out perfect like yours
Try using olive oil spray John, to coat your measuring spoons when using honey, molasses,
mustard, etc. Slides right off.
These look incredible
spice cake is my fav!
made the 6 inch cake yesterday, was loved so much I will be making and 8 inch one next week
Looks great and I bet it taste great will have to give this one a try. Will have to get some of the cake wraps Never saw them Thanks for sharing
