Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream and powdered sugar. Whip until soft peaks form and the mixture is well combined.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream filling on top of the first cake layer.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the filling. If desired, you can dust the top with additional powdered sugar or decorate with more whipped cream.
- Slice the cake into 12 servings and enjoy your delicious crème filled spice cakes!
Tips
- To ensure your cakes turn out light and fluffy, make sure to not overmix the batter. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are just combined. Use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh spices and real butter, to get the best flavor out of your cakes. Don't overbake the cakes - a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, but not wet. To get a smooth and even whipped cream filling, make sure to whip the cream until soft peaks form. Experiment with different decorations, such as powdered sugar or additional whipped cream, to make your cakes visually appealing.
