I made your carrot cake last year and as a person who doesn't like raisins or but in their cake, I loved your recipe. I was glad to see a different version of such a great recipe!😋
How do you not already have 1 mil subscribers with all these delicious recipes? Your cakes are one of the best out there. I like my cakes moist and soft and not spongy like many out there. Love your recipes!
I tried this recipe today and it turned out amazing! So moist and yummy! Loved it! Thanks for sharing! :) I made a note to reduce the sugar the next time I bake this coz that's too sweet for me :)
Hello Sam (Samantha I assume?). Great recipe, excellent instructions, love the fact that both U.S. and metric measurements are included ( long retired chemist :) and you're a natural in front of the camera. Thank you for a delicious cake.
James here tried your spiced cake it was delisous. As well as all your other deserts I made almost all of them I have not had a bad one yet thanks for your recipes.
Looks delicious and I’m going to give it a try. Do you think two 8” foil pans would work? If so, would I need to adjust temp and/or baking time? Thanks so much for your input and for your wonderful instruction videos.
It should work in 8” pans, but foil is typically pretty shallow. You would need a traditional 2 inch deep pan or you will have a lot of left over batter. The temperature would remain the same regardless of what pan you are using though. 😊
Looks delicious! I do have a question on the frosting. A stick of salted butter has 1/8 tsp in salt. You add a stick of unsalted butter and 1/4 tsp of salt. Why not just use the salted butter and either add in the other 1/8 tsp, or just go with a bit less salt?
I am still thinking on what cake I should make for my birthday. I have your recipe (spice cake) on my list, but by any chance do you have a a favorite flavor of cake that you suggest? Hope you reply thank u😊
This cake has a tendency to sink when made as cupcakes. Unfortunately it’s just the nature of this cake. I have been working on a cupcake version, but I don’t quite have it perfected. You can always try it and see how they turn out for you (some people have had success), or you could make my gingerbread cupcakes, which are similar! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun thank you for the info. I’ve always been curious about this, especially if salt is an ingredient in a recipe. The cake looks amazing too!
Just made this tonight. Was disappointed with how dry and crumbly it came out considering it has so much oil, butter, eggs and even buttermilk! My guess is that it has too much flour for a cake. If flour was reduced it would probably be less bread like.
I’m so sorry this happened! There are a few things that can cause this. Over mixing the batter, over baking the cake or too much flour. If you don’t weigh your ingredients I would recommend checking out my post on how to measure flour. I hope you’ll give it another try! 😊😊
Measurements for the chemical leaveners are far too much. My cake overflowed and then caved in right in the center! I Used 1/2 tsp of baking soda & powder and it came out perfect ( the second time).
Time to check expiration dates on Spices, and if they are more than 18 months old, buy the ones you know you will be using soon. They won't be as tasty if they're over 2 or 3 years old.
@@SugarSpunRun this gives me an excuse to go buy more spices! I thought i had every spice, but i don't (because i haven't baked desserts in ( (rarely)Years), and as much as i wanted to have all spices on hand, I didn't want them to be Out-of-date by the time i needed them. Sometimes i wish i was raised up on Indian Cuisine, because spices are so healthy and the flavors make life more (sorry)**🤧cough cough* SPICY...i know, eyes are rollin'!! 🙄👀👁️💞
If you’re making this recipe for a layered circle cake these measurements make 2 9 inch circles 🥰
Loved this recipe! My mom’s birthday cake was a smash hit! Didn’t know it would turn out so dense but still moist!
I'm so glad you liked it!! ♥

@@SugarSpunRun Very soon! 🙂👍
Great video Sam tabor love the spy cakes

Skip the frosting and pour some heavy whipping cream over a slice. Heaven 😇😇😇
That sounds delicious! I will have to try it sometime. :)

Yum. Your carrot cake is my go to recipe for carrot cake, so I'll bet I'll love this one, too. ❤

yogurt or sour cream instead of the oil takes this to a new level.
Even apple sauce to substitute for the oil!

Could you prepare this batter and add raisins and candied fruit (and nuts) to make fruitcake?
That looks delicious 😍😍 thank u
Hope you enjoy ❤
Hi Sam 😁! Really enjoyed the video. How much batter does your Spice Cake recipe make? Thinking of using 8-inch pans.
It will make enough for 2 8" round cake pans. They should take about 35 minutes to bake. :)
WOW thank you for this spice cake recipe! I love spice cake, it's my favorite. Now to make it😋
I hope you love this one! 😊

@@SugarSpunRun Thanks so much!
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
I don't have ground ginger. Can I use fresh ginger (grated)? If so, how much?
Could I use yogurt instead of buttermilk? It's sometimes hard to measure 1/4 cup.
Looks delicious! I do have a question on the frosting. A stick of salted butter has 1/8 tsp in salt. You add a stick of unsalted butter and 1/4 tsp of salt. Why not just use the salted butter and either add in the other 1/8 tsp, or just go with a bit less salt?
Using unsalted butter just gives you better control of the amount of salt in the recipe so I always use unsalted.
Yum!! :o

Honestly I’m a chocolate kind of person so it’s probably just a chocolate cake for me, or a vanilla cake with a nice chocolate frosting. 😊
Beautiful recipe! What would be the baking temp and time if made as cupcakes?
This cake has a tendency to sink when made as cupcakes. Unfortunately it’s just the nature of this cake. I have been working on a cupcake version, but I don’t quite have it perfected. You can always try it and see how they turn out for you (some people have had success), or you could make my gingerbread cupcakes, which are similar! 😊
Tastes great! But mine did sink in the middle 😕 any idea why? Followed the instructions to the letter.
A little bit of sinking is normal with this cake. If it sank a lot, it may have needed a little more time in the oven 😊
Since you made your cake by scratch I'm going to go out on a limb here and do the same I'll let you know how it come out take care stay safe God bless
I hope you love it! 😊😊
Can replace the buttermilk with normal milk & reduce the sugar?
Just note that the cake will not be as moist and flavorful if you do.
Are we allowed to vary the spices? I'm out of grated allspice and I don't really care for nutmeg.
Sure 😊
Went to the grocery store about 5 times in 2 days... Thank the lord you don't use molasses!!! Cause I'm not going back!!!!! 💃🏾
🤣 I've been there before!
Can use cardamon powder?🤔
If you are a fan of cardamom then yes. I don’t particularly enjoy it, which is why I don’t use it. 😊
This looks amazing! I’m definitely gonna try and make it tomorrow!! But is it okay to use light brown sugar instead of dark?
You could use light brown sugar here. :)
Can you make this without oil?
You could substitute butter for the oil, but for best results I really recommend the oil.
Can I use a stand mixer instead of hand mixer for spice cake
Sure! 😊
Can this be made in a tube pan and for how long
It could be but without having tried it I can’t say for sure what a bake time would be. 😔
Can I substitute pumpkin spice instead of allspice
Hi is powdered sugar confectioner sugar or granulated powdered ? Plan to make this . Many thanx anita
Hi Anita! It is granulated sugar that is powdered and often times has cornstarch in it as well. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so much .
How important is the unsalted vs salted butter?
Using unsalted butter really helps you control the flavor so I definitely prefer it. Just make sure to reduce the salt if you use salted butter. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you for the info. I’ve always been curious about this, especially if salt is an ingredient in a recipe. The cake looks amazing too!
Can we use milk instead of buttermilk
No, but you can make my buttermilk substitute with your milk: ua-cam.com/video/nzXgl6ayZxc/v-deo.html 😊
@@SugarSpunRun thank you for responding
Can I use two 8inch pans with this batter ?
The cakes may cave in a little bit but they should still turn out.
I tried to make this cake today and it did not bake 😢! 1 hour and still raw. Something not right but followed your recipe to the letter.
I'm so sorry to hear this happened! Is your oven temperature correct? Something should be happening by an hour. :(
I dont have buttermilk?
You can make my easy buttermilk substitute instead 😊

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you
Hi... What if I don't have cloves?
You can leave them out. Your cake just won't be as flavorful. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you so much

Something else must be going on. I promise you I’ve tested this about 40 times
Not cream cheese frosting again. Yuk. Let's go with butter cream.
You can certainly use buttercream. :)
this is not a diabetic recipe,,
Correct. :)
