Tender Spice Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened until easily spreadable
  • 2 cups dark brown sugar
Instructions
1
Position the oven rack to its central level; heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Coat a metal or disposable foil 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and dust it lightly.
2
Combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a large mixing bowl. Blend milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring container.
3
Mix softened butter into the flour mixture using an electric mixer, starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium until the mixture forms small clumps. Gradually add about one-third of the milk mixture, beating continuously on low speed until smooth. Add the remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until the batter is just combined, leaving some texture. Add brown sugar and mix until it's fully incorporated, taking about 30 seconds.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool briefly on a wire rack before running a table knife around the edges to loosen. Carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate or cooling rack and let it cool completely.
