Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, ½ teaspoon of ground cloves, ½ teaspoon of ground allspice, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 cup of white sugar, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, ½ cup of milk and 1 cup of raisins (optional).
Instructions
The first step is to preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Finally, stir in the milk and raisins (if using).
Divide the batter evenly among the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting and Assembly
To make the frosting, you will need 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of butter, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Finally, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and mix until combined.
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer of the cake onto a cake plate or stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of the cake. Place the second layer of cake on top and spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake. You can decorate the cake with sprinkles or candies, if desired.
